12. LMC Research - Technology
One Key Finding - LM programs that contribute most strongly to academic achievement are those with the technology necessary to extend access to information resources beyond the LMC to classrooms and labs throughout the school (Colorado (1999), Alaska (1999), & Pennsylvania (1999)). See for information about how to obtain copies of these studies.

13. LMC Research - Technology, cont.
PA (1999) - Synergy of LM staff, collections and technology is most powerful in an integrated, collaborative approach to teaching information literacy.
