The journal will also emphasize research on instructional theory, teaching methods, and critical issues relevant to school library media.As the scholarly refereed journal of the American Association of School Librarians, SLMR seeks to distribute major research findings worldwide through both electronic publication and linkages to substantive documents on the Internet. The primary audience for SLMR includes academic scholars, school library media and instructional specialists, and other educators who strive to provide a constructive learning environment for all students and teachers.
SLMR seeks manuscripts that will meet the review criteria provided in the manuscript policy. Manuscripts may be based on original research, an innovative conceptual framework, or a substantial literature review that opens new areas of inquiry and investigation.
A manuscript is published after it meets the extensive review criteria. All published manuscripts are open to continued review from readers of the scholarly community and practicing educators.
Compiled on an annual basis, SLMR strives to provide researchers with contacts to concepts and ideas that will enhance school library media program.
