Call for Papers for School Libraries Worldwide

The international refereed journal School Libraries Worldwide is issued =
twice yearly in January and July by IASL, the International Association of =

Worldwide, beginning in the year 2002, will focus on publishing original =
research on any and all topics pertaining directly but not exclusively to =
school libraries around the world. Authors are invited to contact the =
Editor about submitting articles for the first of the 2002 issues, on =
or=20
before December 1, 2001.

The shift in the focus of the journal has been made possible because of =
the success of another IASL initiative , the International Forum on =
Research in School Librarianship. These initiatives, along with the =
Association's research award program, reflect the increasing interest in =
and support of research within the Association and within school librarians=
hip generally.

International Association of School Librarianship and by the work of its =
Editorial Board members. The current members of the Editorial Board of =
