Posted August 18, 2016
SPECIAL ISSUE THEME: Social justice issues: Public and school library services for teens
Journal of Research on Libraries and Young Adults (JRLYA), the official research journal of the American Library Association’s Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), is currently accepting submissions for a special themed issue. This issue will highlight research related to social justice issues and public and school library services for teens. Researchers, librarians, graduate students, and others who conduct research related to teens (ages 12 – 18) and libraries are invited to submit manuscripts.
Papers describing both scholarly research (qualitative, quantitative, or theory development)
as well as action research are welcome for peer review and consideration of publication.
JRLYA presents original research concerning:
1) the informational and developmental needs of teens;
2) the management, implementation, and evaluation of young adult library services; and
3) other critical issues relevant to librarians who work with this population.
Papers that report library programs but lack an original research component will not be considered.
