AASL Advertising Opportunities

Maximize your company's visibility in the AASL community by taking advantage of a variety of advertising opportunities.*

Knowlege Quest

Published five times a year AASL's print journal, Knowledge Quest, is devoted to offering substantive information to assist building-level library media specialists, supervisors, library educators and other decision makers concerned with the development of school library media programs and services. Articles address the integration of theory and practice in school librarianship and new developments in education, learning theory and relevant disciplines.

School library media specialists in elementary and secondary schools read Knowledge Quest. These professionals are responsible for the selection, acquisition, cataloging, maintenance and circulation of books, periodicals, audiovisual materials and computer software and accompanying hardware. The readers of Knowledge Quest also provide reference service, reading guidance, instruction in information retrieval skills and access to the Internet and other electronic resources. They collaboratively plan instructional units with teachers in elementary and secondary public and nonpublic schools.

Price: The Media Kit for Knowledge Quest is available online. Please contact Bill Spilman of Innovative Media Solutions at bill@innovativemediasolutions.com or 309-483-6467, for more information about advertising in Knowledge Quest.

This text-based newsletter is sent to AASL members with valid e-mail addresses on file in the ALA member database (currently over 75% of our members). Additional "pass along" distribution occurs through our members, who are encouraged to share each issue with colleagues and administrators in their school and district, and AASL's state and regional affiliate organizations, which can redistribute the newsletter to their own members.

AASL Hotlinks is primarily composed of brief summaries with links to more in-depth content, and includes previews of upcoming association activities and continuing education programs, news from AASL and all of ALA, valuable Web resources, highlights of new products and services, summaries of new articles from AASL's print and online journals and more.

Ads are text-only; line width of 60 characters (including blank spaces); limited to no more than 10 lines (including blank lines) in length, including one hyperlink. Each issue of AASL Hotlinks may include up to three separate ads.  Please see AASL Hotlinks Advertising Rate Card for prices and guidelines.

AASL Advocate Daily Conference Newspaper

After a successful introduction at the 2003 conference in Kansas City, and a great follow up in Pittsburgh, AASL and CustomNEWS will again team up to publish the AASL Advocate, the official daily newspaper of the AASL National Conference & Exhibition. Three issues of the AASL Advocate will be produced and made available on-site during the AASL 13th National Conference & Exhibition, October 25-28, 2007, in Reno, Nevada, as well as a preview issue that will be distributed to over 10,000 school library media professionals in June of 2007.

Here's a glimpse into the AASL Advocate from Pittsburgh:

Enhance your presence at the conference by advertising in the AASL Advocate. Each issue will be available to attendees at the beginning of the day, giving readers timely information on important conference, exhibit and local events and attractions. It's a great way to increase booth traffic, promote new products and services and inform attendees about events and demonstrations your company plans to host.
