School Libraries Worldwide

School Libraries Worldwide is the only scholarly journal in the field focused entirely on research and practice in school librarianship on a global level. As the official research journal for the International Association of School Librarianship, SLW supports the mission of its parent organization "the establishment and development of school librarianship in every country in the world." SLW solicits and publishes high-quality research articles from global contributors, building a knowledge-base for international school librarianship. This worldwide perspective enables teacher librarians and school library educators to investigate institutional factors that shape our profession, strengthening the practice of school librarianship throughout the world.
