81. Handbook Of Texas Online: SCHOOL LIBRARIES http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/view/SS/lcs7.html

format this article to print SCHOOL LIBRARIES . The development of school libraries in Texas was slow and sporadic. Since few library records were kept by county and urban school districts in previous centuries, data were not gathered on the earliest attempts to establish school libraries. However, fragmentary records can be gleaned from the early publications of various libraries and associations. Before 1854 schools across the state undoubtedly had small collections of books. One of the earliest accounts of a school library shows that a New Braunfels school started a library in 1854. Another early library was established in 1881 at St. Edward's Academy in Austin. Although the state Constitution of 1845 qv provided for the establishment of free schools, it was years before the state had a well-organized, satisfactory public school system. Beginning about 1884, school districts started to build permanent facilities and to plan for future growth, and school libraries became more numerous. Ball High School in Galveston established a library in 1884. The same year a school library was started in Omen. In 1885 the Weatherford High School library had its beginning. A Tyler school, encouraged by Anna J. H. Pennybacker, qv began to build a book collection in 1887. Alvin High School started a library in 1890. Other school libraries established in the nineteenth century included Paris (1893), Houston (1894), Waxahachie (1897), and Dallas (1898).

Services to Librarians Resources for Librarians Library Developments Newsletter A bimonthly publication of the Library Development Division, Texas State Library and Archives Commission TSLAC to Study Student Achievement in School Libraries EGS Research and Consulting mailed a survey to a random, stratified sample of school library media specialists in September 2000. Data gathered from the survey will be correlated with TAAS scores at each of the schools surveyed. Community factors that could influence the results, such as socio-economic status and library expenditures on materials, will be controlled through a series of statistical analyses. Previous studies, particularly those conducted by the Library Research Service for Alaska, Pennsylvania, and Colorado, have demonstrated that a positive relationship exists between staffing levels and activities performed in school library media centers and student test scores. Preliminary results of the Texas study are expected to be available in February 2001, with a final report due by April 2001.

The Texas Law Review is a co-presenter of the conference. More than 20 scholars from leading law schools and research institutes will speak at the conference on timely, important and controversial issues relating to the legal profession or the civil justice system. For example, two of the nation's top legal scholars on securities markets - John C. Coffee Jr. of Columbia University School of Law and Stephen Choi of the University of California at Berkeley School of Law - will discuss the impact of securities laws and litigation on the integrity of financial markets. With Enron's bankruptcy and allegations that Arthur Andersen destroyed important documents filling the news, the conference will provide an important opportunity to learn about legal arrangements that protect investors.
