Selection Committee
One Best Conference Paper Award may be given at each IASL annual conference. The award decision must be made by the IASL Awards Committee or by a selection committee that is appointed by the IASL Executive Board.

Authors may not simultaneously submit the same paper to other competitions or publication venues. Currently-serving Best Conference Paper Award selection committee members are not eligible to apply for the award.

- Contribution to the field of school librarianship
- Timeliness and interest of the topic addressed
