Today’s school libraries are much more than warehouses of books – they are knowledge
spaces, where active learning takes place – students build their own
understanding and knowledge. (Ross J. Todd and Carol C. Kuhlthau, Student Learning

Management System contains model lessons and
assessments for a variety of Academic Content Standards as well as professional resources
