Cowell, L. L. H. (2007). The 21st century and the importance
 

of libraries among Hartford students. Hartford Sociological Review, 51, 541-554.

The author, a teacher and library media specialist at Hartford Union High School, uses data from a longitudinal survey of students and standardized scores to test the current view that libraries are crucial in the development of independent and successful learners for the 21st century. This study is in direct contrast to traditional 20th century model of school libraries and was important in proving the validity of the research showing that students who learn to use the library score higher on academic achievement tests.
