Book: Loertscher, D.. with Todd, R.J. (2018). We Boost Achievement: Micro Documentation Measures for Teacher Librarians. Salt Lake City, UT: Learning Commons Press.
Teacher librarians who wish to document their contribution to teaching and learning in the school library learning commons will find a plethora of recommendations under six categories: literacies, information, inquiry, instructional design, technology, and expertise. Each group of measures is proceeded by a state of the art essay that describes best practices and the concept of the newest ideas in library learning commons implementation. Each measure is targeted at the learner level, the teaching unit level, or the organization level. And, the entire collection is prefaced by a brilliant essay by Dr. Ross J. Todd of Rutgers University.
Book: Loertscher, D. & Crompton, M. (2018). Collection and Connection Development Using the Collection Mapping Technique. Salt Lake City, UT: Learning Commons Press.
More than a decade ago, David Loertscher introduced the concept of collection mapping in two different books mostly to the audience of school librarians of the time. It received some attention at that time because it contained a simple method of dividing the collection into various segments that became a part of a visual representation of collection strengths and weaknesses. Much has happened in the last decade that has put into major question what it is libraries should own and what it should provide access to across a wide spectrum of information and for what types of devices.

Book: Loertscher, D. & Koechlin, C., eds. (2015). Coteaching and Collaboration: How and Why Two Heads Are Better Than One. Salt Lake City, UT: Teacher Librarian Press.
From both a theoretical and research perspective, coteaching is simply the most powerful foundational program element a teacher librarian can have to make a difference in teaching and learning. This collection of articles from Teacher Librarian bring together the power of coteaching between classroom teachers and teacher librarians. Thus, this collection can serve as a conversational piece of professional development or the basis of explaining and working with a school faculty on this powerful tool and strategy.

Book: Loertscher, D., Koechlin, C. & Rosenfeld, E. (2012) The Virtual Learning Commons: Building a Participatory School Learning Community. Salt Lake City, UT: Learning Commons Press.
This book is a companion to and an extension of, The New Learning Commons Where Learners Win 2nd edition, published in 2011. In that volume, we presented the idea that the school library and computer lab be merged into a single entity in the school, and that this new place be reinvented from the ground up in order to become a giant collaborative. In the past year, as we have watched Learning Commons develop around North America, we have discerned the need to elaborate on the virtual part of the the Learning Commons that would replace the often bypassed school library website.

Book: Loertscher, D.V., Koechlin, C. & Zwaan, S. (2011) The New Learning Commons: Where Learners Win! Reinventing School Libraries and Computer labs. 2nd edition. Salt Lake City, UT: Learning Commons Press.
Loertscher, Koechlin, and Zwaan team up in this book to rethink everything about the function and role of school libraries and computer labs. It is often a case of 180 degree reconsideration. What does this mean? The profession has been on a command and control model: If we build it, they will come. We build a website and expect students and teachers to use it on our terms. They Google, instead. We expect teachers to appreciate the collections we build. They want classroom collections. We open our doors during the school day. Our patrons want 24/7-365 service.
Book: David V. Loertscher, Carol Koechlin, and Sandi Zwaan; Hi Willow Research & Publishing; 2011; ISBN 978-1-933170-64-0. Beyond Bird Units! Thinking and Understanding in Information-Rich and Technology-Rich Environments 18 Think Models Unit Planning Guides Fresh Unit Ideas Refresh Edition.
Since the publication of the original best selling edition, the authors and users have discovered even more effective ways of constructing super learning experiences. Thus, every unit of study represented in the original volume has been updated and improved to demonstrate powerful ways of boosting thinking and learning through technology. The book provides 18 powerful instructional designs with examples across the disciplines and grade levels that can by used by teachers, teacher librarians, and teacher technologist to maximize both content knowledge and 21st Century Skills. And, at the conclusion of each learning experience, the authors demonstrate metacognitive strategies to probe what was learned and how future learning experiences can be improved. An essential tool for collaborative construction and assessment of learning!
Book: Nevin, R., Melton, M. & Loertscher, D.V. (2011) Google Apps for Education: Building Knowledge in a Safe and Free Environment. Salt Lake City, UT: Hi Willow Research & Publishing.
Most educators are aware of the various Google Apps such as Google Docs, Google Images, Google Calendar and many others. Fewer are acquainted with Google’s free and safe environment for a school where students, teachers, teacher librarians, teacher technologists and other specialists can collaborate without the worries of intrusion by outsiders. Within this closed environment, there are selected Google Apps such as email, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, forms, sites, video, and start up pages among others. The authors introduce each of these tools to get you started, but most importantly concentrate on building knowledge and classroom teachers and other specialists in the school. Building critical thinking, problem solving, collaborative writing, and collaborative knowledge building are just a few writing, and collaborative knowledge building are just a few of the emphases covered in this book. Additional chapters concentrate on how to set up a Google Apps Education school, convince administrators, work through barriers and many other suggestions for adopting this fast-moving Google product that is perfect in times of economic challenges.

Book: Carol Koechlin, Esther Rosenfeld, and David V. Loertscher; Building a Learning Commons A Guide for School Administrators and Learning Leadership Teams A Whole School Approach to Learning for the Future. Hi Willow Research & Publishing; ISBN: 978-1-933170-59-6; 2010.
As a companion to The New School Learning Commons Where Learners Win, this book is a planning guide for administrators and those interested in establishing a Learning Commons that reinvents the role of the school library and computer labs in the school. Chock full of checklists, planning forms, an organizational suggestions, this guide is a handy tool. It begins with a brief explanation of what a Learning Commons is and its role in total school improvement and then step by step goes through the aspects of program, physical facilities, changing technologies and ends with a variety of assessment tools to gauge progress. The appendices provide a number of handouts and other resources for planning teams. Teacher librarians and teacher technologists contemplating the development of the Learning Commons should read the guide together and see that administrators have a copy as a prelude to assembling the leadership team of the Commons. As an additional help, take a look at another book linked to these two books: Learning Commons Treasury edited by Loertscher and Marcoux available from LMC Source. All three publications provide a wealth of information for the leadership team. Indispensable.
Book: David V. Loertscher and Elizabeth “Betty” Marcoux, eds.; Learning Commons Treasury. Teacher Librarian Press; 2010; ISBN: 978-1-61751-000-7.
This compendium of articles from Teacher Librarian completes a trio of guides to leadership teams interested in transforming the school library and computer lab into a Learning Commons. The first book, The New School Learning Common Where Learners Win (Loertscher, Koechlin, and Zwaan) set the theoretical foundation for the Learning Commons. The second book: Building a Learning Commons (Koechlin, Rosenfeld, and Loertscher) provides administrators and learning leadership teams with the planning tools needed to establish a Commons. In this third publication, the editors have gathered together 25 articles they have solicited about the Learning Commons idea over the past several years and published in Teacher Librarian. Articles lay the foundation of the Common, provide real examples from teacher librarians who have established a learning commons in their school, provide a glimpse into curriculum matters related to the Commons, the technology needed to make the Commons a success, a guide for the staff and role of specialists in the Commons, and finally several articles dealing with assessing impact on teaching and learning. This trio is a valuable collection for reinventing the nature of school libraries into a 21st century model.

Book: Loertscher, D., Koechlin, C. & Zwaan, S. (2009) The Big Think: Nine Metacognitive Strategies That Make the Unit End Just the Beginning of Learning. Salt Lake City, UT: HI Willow Research & Publishing.
The typical research assignment might consist of a selection of a topic and the interception of information resulting in a product of some kind that is graded. The end. Next topic, please. However, football coaches approach things quite differently. Yes there is the daily practice culminating in the game. But they videotape the game for a specific reason. Monday, everyone analyzes the game. Put your ego at the door. Watch. Analyze. Synthesize. What when on? How did I do; how did we do; what can we do to get better? If this reflection activity is omitted, the players don’t get any better. Neither do the coaches. The Big Think introduces the same reflection strategies for both classroom teachers and teacher librarians. Here are nine strategies to use as we analyze “the game” – no, the learning activity, particularly when both the teacher and the classroom teacher have been struggling to improve teaching and learning. What happens to coaches when they don’t get better across the season? What happens to the players? In the same way, we posit that there must be a reflection activity at the end of the unit – a metacognitive activity that looks back over the learning event that just occurred. Leave it out at your own risk. There is much talk about metacognition in education. It is part of critical thinking and creative thinking. Everyone seems to understand that it should happen but in our look across the educational literature, it is one of those assumptions that it automatically happens when we have little evidence that it does. This trio of authors have created nine strategies that become the cherry atop the whipped cream of a unit sundae. Each strategy can be used to ascertain two major successes or failures: Content learning (what I know; what we know) and Process (how I learned; how we learned) followed by So What? and What’s Next? Such activities give the teacher librarian and the classroom teacher real evidence of what students know, are able to do, and what they deeply understand. We recommend these ideas strongly in the current results milieu. If you have enjoyed this trio’s work in the past, don’t miss this one!

Book: Loertscher, D.V., Koechlin, C. & Zwaan, S. (2008) The New Learning Commons: Where Learners Win!: Reinventing School Libraries and Computer Labs. Salt Lake City, UT: Hi Willow Research & Publishing.
It is time to reinvent the entire concept of the school library! For 50 years, we have been guided by a great conceptual base; however our students have changed their information habits totally in the explosion of the Internet. They Google around us. They network socially. Web 2.0 tools change the face of ICT literacy. It is just a different world.
Loertscher, Koechlin, and Zwaan team up in this book to rethink everything about the function and role of school libraries and computer labs. It is often a case of 180 degree reconsideration. What does this mean? The profession has been on a command and control model: If we build it, they will come. We build a website and expect students and teachers to use it on our terms. They Google, instead. We expect teachers to appreciate the collections we build. They want classroom collections. We open our doors during the school day. Our patrons want 24/7-365 service.
The turn-around suggested is to think about and construct a client-side organization built around the idea that: IF THEY build it, THEY will use it. Ths means competing with Google. It means collaboratively constructing a virtual learning commons that replaces the library web site. It means incorporating Web 2.0 tools that really boost teaching and learning. But we get ahead of ourselves.
The authors recommend that the school library be converted into a learning commons. What is that? It is both a physical and virtual place consisting of two major spaces: the Open Commons and the Experimental Learning Center each governed by its own calendar. The Open Commons is not only a flexible access space; it is a flexible physical and virtual space where exemplary teaching and learning is demonstrated for all to see. The Experimental Learning Center is the center of professional development for the entire school. The physical and virtual space is where students and teachers work to improve the quality of teaching and learning. It is the place for all new educational initiatives professional learning communities, experimental technology, action research. It is the hub of school improvement.
You are sure to have an opinion about this re-conceptualization; It is controversial. And, you will be invited to lodge comments and discuss new directions on the book’s companion wiki. It is a major shift in ideas about who we are and what we do. We are already being reinvented in the educational literature. Isn’t the best defense a strong offence? Come with us on a journey of new idea.

Linking library media programs to achievement continues to be a central element in the justification and systematic improvement of the LMC existence in the school. The authors pull together simple to advanced techniques, instruments, and strategies to measure five program elements of the library media program: reading, collaboration, information literacy, technology, and the administrative function. The book is both in print with an online component that allows easy access to forms and resources on the web. The authors have concentrated on measures of program most likely to demonstrate impact with a minimum of time in the collection and analysis of data. Particularly useful not only in a single school, but across schools in a school district. New measures and updated resources added to this edition.

Book: Loertscher, D.V., Koechlin, C., & Zwaan, S. (2007). Beyond Bird Units! Thinking and Understanding in Information-Rich and Technology-Rich Environments. Salt Lake City, UT: Hi Willow Research & Publishing.
The authors of the popular Ban Those Bird Units have joined their talents once more to provide more ways to create very high-level think units when teachers bring learning activities into the information-rich and technology-rich environment of the library. The new volume adds three new models to the original 15, provides planning sheets for each model, presents all new learning activities, and concentrates on the culminating high-think activities of a teacher/librarian collaboration. If you already own Ban Those Bird Units, this volume will add many new ideas to your repertoire. If not, then acquire this volume for an introduction to significant learning activities where plagiarism is no longer an issue.
The book also includes additional (18 in all) think models and planning guides, plus fresh unit ideas.

Most school libraries have a web site or blog that provide a wealth of resources and links to information. however, young people may be saying, “We love you, library, but we love Google more.” This book and accompanying website takes a new approach in the battle to capture the attention and serve student needs: It asks each child and teen to construct their own home page using iGoogle, and construct three sections of their own information space.
Personal Space (with assignments, calendars, hobbies, and other critical personal tools). This is very tightly controlled space that the student can change regularly. If the school library has a blog, then information can be fed to every student via an RSS feed. Thus the librarian can notify a class about a particular library assignment, offering helps and deadlines that will assist the student in their daily work Group Space for doing projects with others often using web 2.0 tools. For example, a class may be doing a project with another class in a foreign country. A ning, a wiki, and blogs can be used to collaboratively share information, do joint planning, and share expertise on the variety of subjects. This capability has really developed over the past 5 years. The concept that multiple students can be seeing and adding to the same page in a word processor is a totally new concept whose time has come.
Outer Space (controlled access to the larger Internet) Students will want to create ways of accessing the entire internet but also learn how to manage those explorations to avoid dangers and pitfalls.
Thus, they learn to manage their own information space. But, even more importantly, they learn to manage themselves within that space. The time has come to offer young people a gift of a lifetime – control over the voices clamoring for their attention and the tools they need to emerge as truly information literates. Unique.
What does it mean to control ourselves within our information space? It would seem that the rules of the road, crossing the road, driving a car safely and other rules that help us go through life need to be taught in information space as well. We learn to cross the street safely, we learn to navigate through information space knowing that there might be predators trying to divert our attention. Thus the librarian and technology staff help kids and teens develop responsibility – the idea is to give every kid or teen a fishing pole rather than a fish. Tech directors may immediately say “no” to such a radical idea. We are betting that developing individual control is far superior to being managed.

Book: Achterman, D., Faires, D., & Loertscher, D.V. (2006). Wiki Templates for Super Teaching!. Salt Lake City, UT: Hi Willow Research & Publishing.
A wiki is a collaborative workspace – a way groups can build a document, an article, a project or do other collaborative writing or planning together. Most of us know about Wikipedia.org – the largest encyclopedia in the world where anyone can write an article and anyone can edit it. The 50+templates in this collection are collaborative spaces where the Think! Models of Ban Those Bird Units and SuperTeaching can be put into practice on line. And, best of all, at this point, they can be used for free from anywhere in the world.
The templates in this collection have been designed for use in Seewiki.com software, primarily because when the students begin the editing process, they will see a familiar word processing toolbar much like Microsoft Word. The templates can be tweaked to be used in any other wiki software. how do you use them? First, you get your own account on Seedwiki.com. Then you create your own wiki for a unit of instruction – say Causes of the Civil War. Then you copy a template from our disk into your wiki; add specific directions, and it’s ready for student work. This will jump start your use of this technology and provide instructional designs that match the 15 Think models created by Loertscher, Koechlin, and Zwaan. Not only can you use the templates as designed, but they are easy to modify for your particular use. Once you see our instructional designs, you can build your own from scratch.

Book: Loertscher, D.V., McElmeel, S. L. & Harlan, M.A. (2005). Young Adult Literature and Multimedia: A Quick Guide. Salt Lake City, UT: Hi Willow Research & Publishing.
Two and four page spreads cover many genres in Young Adult Literature and Multimedia. Each spread gives a history of the genre, sample titles, and spotlights authors and how to keep up in that particular genre. Topics include: The young adult novel, fantasy and science fiction, history, popular music, and teen television, among others.
Its greatest strengths in comparison to other guides on young adult literature is its price, yet it is a quality introduction for teachers and librarians.

Bird units are fill-in-the-blank library assignments, or reports; the result of which is copying or outright plagiarism. This book provides way to ban such low-level activities and replace them with exciting learning experiences that link the library and technology into achievement. Models, sample units, forms, and links to popular educational practices such as Understanding by Design are provided. The models work K-12 and across all disciplines. They work when teachers are interested in going beyond the textbook and the lecture. They work extremely well in differentiated instruction and in classrooms where the students cannot understand the textbook. The models show how to integrate information literacy and technology into learning topics based on state standards. The book is a companion work to Build Your Own Information Literate School. It’s a guide for teachers as much as it is for librarians and technology specialists. Great for planning collaborative units and doing professional development with teachers.

Book: Todd, R., & Loertscher, D.V. (2003). We Boost Achievement: Evidence-based Practice for School Library Media Specialists. Salt Lake City, UT: Hi Willow Research & Publishing.
Want to collect the evidence that you boost the achievement in your school with your LMC program? This book provides a multitude of techniques to collect evidence concerning reading, information literacy, collaborative planning, and technology. And like throwing pebbles in a pool causing a ripple effect, these measures not only document what you are doing, but suggest changes in your program to maximize your impact.
The various measures in the book follow what is titled the triangulation of data. That is, if one were to measure impact on reading, data would be collected at the learner level, the teaching unit level, and the organization level. Both direct and indirect measures would be created. Because no thermometer can be stuck in a reader’s mouth to see whether there is a 98 degree “capable and avid reader,” the variety of measures taken approximate the “duck test” (if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck… it must be a duck).
An essential guide in times when achievement is the bottom line!
Book: Loertscher, D., Achterman, D. (2003) Increasing Academic Achievement Through the Library Media Center: A Guide for Teachers. 2nd ed. Salt Lake City, UT: Hi Willow Research & Publishing.
If you liked Reinvent your School’s Library, this is the perfect companion piece written directly for the teacher who is seeking to increase “scores” now in its second edition.
Using the effective “one idea per page” format, teachers are presented with ideas how to collaborate effectively, what types of library media center activities are likely to produce results, how to promote reading with the library media specialist as a partner, how to enhance learning through technology, and how to promote and partner in the teaching of information literacy.
The Second edition contains a number of new pages on a variety of topics and older ideas have been revised. The goal has been to continue to communicate very clearly to a classroom teacher the benefits of working with the library media specialist collaboratively.

Book: Woolls, B., & Loertscher, D.V. (2002). Information literacy: A Review of the Research: A Guide for Practitioners and Researchers (2nd ed). Salt Lake City, UT: Hi Willow Research & Publishing.
The last major review of research on information literacy for school library media specialists was done by Christina Doyle in her 1994 monograph from ERIC titled Information Literacy in an Information Society. Now, the two authors have updated this critical area updating the Doyle work through 2002. Studies published in research journals, research retreats, both in the school library media field and in the larger field of education are included. The volume also includes studies done not only in the U.S. but in Canada, Australia, and in Great Britain. The authors not only review the research but offer numerous suggestions for translating that research into practice as school library media specialists educate young people. Many voices in education are asking all teachers and library media specialists as well to base what they do on solid research rather than just “good ideas.” And, because not enough research is being conducted, practitioners can extend research and report its impact on their learners in their own schools. Designed for the serious practitioner and the researcher who wants to stay current.
Book: Loertscher, D.V. (2002). Reinventing School Library Media Programs in the Age of Technology: A Guide for Superintendents and Principals (2nd ed). Salt Lake City, UT: Hi Willow Research & Publishing.
Newly revised and updated for 2002, this best selling publication still asks the questions: Is a school library needed? Is any library needed? Isn’t it all on the Internet? This new guide is designed to answer these questions and more for the school administrator who is wondering what to do with an amazing array of new technologies added to the school environment.
Many pages contain checklists to stimulate thinking and planning. Two threads run through all sections – budget implications and assessment. Numerous graphic models present a concept succinctly for instant understanding.
