School Library Services Research Report
Open accessAbstract
School Library Services (SLS) in England provide a range of exceptional services. Book loans underpin all areas of the curriculum across all phases. Advisory services support and enhance teacher knowledge and skills. The services provided by SLS cannot be found elsewhere and without them classrooms are impoverished. SLS offer value for money and should be supported at local and national level.

In the citing paper
“Our recent research (Taylor et al., 2024) on behalf of the Association of Senior Children's and Education Librarians (ASCEL) indicates that of the 150 LA districts with responsibility for education in England, 95 have access to an SLS (even if it is one based in another LA area), 45 do not have an SLS, and, for 10, the availability of an SLS is unknown.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
