ASLC Children and Libraries Editorial Advisory Committee

ALA Midwinter Meeting, January 2012, Dallas.

 

Objectives: This committee facilitates the on-going publication of Children and Libraries, assuring high quality, and addresses editorial issues such as scholarly content vs. practice-oriented content, audience, potential audience, format, access, readability, etc. It is part of Priority Group VII: Professional Development.

 

ALSC Strategic Plan: Publication of Children and Libraries contributes to ALSC core values , particularly leadership, excellence, and innovation, by publishing articles on leading trends and best practices, excellent and innovative library programs, and creative solutions to problems with access, technology, etc. The journal Children and Libraries addresses many of ALSC’s strategic goals, particularly in the areas of education and access by serving as a vehicle for the continuing education and engagement of librarians, by exploring the use of new technologies for advancing literacy and information literacy in libraries and educational settings, by promoting diversity in access to library services for various populations, including diverse ethnic groups, children with disabilities, non-English speaking children, etc., and by serving as a forum for ideas on efficient strategies for increasing service to children in underserved areas and for increasing community involvement.

 

Timeline: Ongoing with every issue of the journal.
