Library Advocacy:
- A recent Public Library Association toolkit on advocacy would be of interest:
http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/pla/plaadvocacy/librariesprospertoolkit/index.cfm

Australian Library and Information Association
In terms of standards the best place to start for US for school libraries is on the Association for School Libraries page

http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/aasl/guidelinesandstandards/guidelinesandstandards.cfm

On the Public Library Association page, there are some useful publications relating to advocacy, library development as well
http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/pla/plaadvocacy/index.cfm
Also selected recent Public Library Association publications are a good place to start as well -
http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/pla/plapublications/plapublist/index.cfm
The public library statistical report would also be useful for making comparisons between US and Chinese public libraries as far as resources and some other basic statistical measures:

Here is a press release on study on Return on Investment (ROI) conducted for San Francisco Public Library; if contacted they might be willing to share the report:http://www.friendssfpl.org/?Press_Release&id=102

Public Library Strategic Planning
- For individual public libraries, assessment should really be part of the strategic planning process and the public library association has published a couple of good current books that outline the strategic planning process and include information on how to assess progress
- "Strategic Planning for Results" by Sandra Nelson
- "Implementing for Results" by Sandra Nelson

Leveled Reading
- "What is Leveled Reading?" by Deborah Wilburn, Scholastic site
- Guided reading: http://www.readinga-z.com/newfiles/leveledreaders.html
- DRA (Developmental Reading Assessment):
- Lexile

The Lexile Framework for Reading is a scientific approach to reading measurement that matches readers to text. The Lexile Framework measures both reader ability and text difficulty on the same scale, called the Lexile scale. This approach allows educators to manage reading comprehension and encourage reader progress using Lexile measures and a broad range of Lexile products, tools and services.
