     Drs. Shana Pribesh and Gail Dickinson of the Educational Curriculum and Instruction Department at Old Dominion University were awarded a two-year grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) as part of the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program to conduct an exploratory study of the relationship between National Board Certification (NBC) in Library Media and Information Science (LMS) and student academic achievement. The $291,244 project will provide a scientifically rigorous research framework to empirically test the notion that national board certification affects student performance.  The study will be conducted with subset of the nation’s LMS professionals. The researchers will also discuss this framework and study findings with experts on an advisory council and researchers in the field at conferences and a research symposium.
