Hi,
Sorry, can't help with the specific query (although with my Voices for the Library hat on it has got me thinking!)...might also be worth pointing your teacher to Heart of the School:
http://heartoftheschool.edublogs.org/
Lots of useful/interesting stuff there.

Subject: School Libraries
A teacher friend of mine texts that her head teacher is claiming the School Library is no longer necessary because everything's available free gratis and for nothing on line; yes, that old chestnut.
I've referred her to the Cilip School Library website, and I can go through all the standard arguments with her, but does anyone, off the top of their heads, know of a source of figures to show that a lot of things published in book form are original and not just scattered around the Web? We're all sure it’s true, of course, but it’s rather difficult to quantify.
Thanks.
