School Librarian Influence On Junior High Girls’ Reading, Sarah Turbes

Journal of Undergraduate Research at Minnesota State University, Mankato

My future interest of obtaining a master’s degree in library science led me to my interest in the influence that school librarians have on adolescent girls’ reading choices.

In conclusion, there …

The following questions were used as the common interest questions to perform the extended bibliometric analysis: (1) which nations contributed articles to SPI? (2) how many SPI manuscripts involved multi-author (and …
