Scholarly journals are products of research or experiments for discovering information on a specific subject. They author usually writes for his/her peers.
Two journals that are written for libraries are School Library Media Research (SLMR) and Evidence Based Library and Information Practice (EBLIP). This paper will compare and contrast these two journals and will evaluate them as resources.
Selection and Publishing Process
According to its website (AASL, n.d.), School Library Media Research began as School Library Media Quarterly Online. It is the official journal for school libraries. It concerns itself with school library media programs and their management, implementation, and evaluation. In addition, its articles include investigations on theory, methods, and issues relevant to school library specialists’ instruction.
The journal accepts original, research-based documents not previously submitted or accepted elsewhere. The author should double-space the document, use 12-point font, and one-inch margins. The document must contain a 100-200 word abstract and be 25-30 pages in length. It should also contain a front page with title, author’s name and address, a second page with the title and abstract, and a works cited page at the end. WordPerfect and Microsoft Word are the preferred word processing software. (ASLA, n.d.)
The editor accepts all articles and/or essays and then three to five referees review them. The referees—or judges—come from building-level, district, or state-level library media services or are librarian educators. After an eight to twelve week reviewing process, the selected article will be included in the journal. Even after publication, the article can receive reviews and com...

Abstract is a condensed version of the full report; this was well formulated by using headings instead of single paragraph style, thus looked uncluttered (Macnee, 2004). The purpose had c...
Of the 49 ALA-accredited library science programs in the United States, only one - the School of Library Science at Clarion University - omits the word "information" from its name. The "L" word doesn't fare so well. Twenty-eight percent of accredited library science programs have dropped the word "library" from their name. Other "I" word schools don't bother to seek accreditation because they no longer see their mission as training librarians.

Through the years works of literature have been distributed through many different means. These means usually reflect and take advantage of the latest technologies. Dominant sources of literature have changed over time. Today, instead of scouring though the local library’s card catalog, prospective readers will likely log onto Amazon to find the latest book in their favorite genre. Media technology has made communicating increasingly easier as time has passed throughout history. Everyone is now encouraged to use media tools and is expected to have a general understanding of the various technologies available. Only time will tell what the future will hold for electronic media. The present avenues may one day be looked back upon as today’s Library of Alexandria and be just another ruin in the history of literature.
The Library Commons at Olathe Northwest is a natural extension of the secondary library’s traditional mission in a digital world. My library offers a wide range of elements to foster student learning in new and creative ways. My goal is that this space fits the need of every student. Students who need to complete an assigned task that calls for collaboration can meet in the library and plan, discuss and complete their assignment. At the same time other students can be searching for a great book or looking online for sports scores or prom dresses. The forty computers in the library offer access for any student who walks in the door. And just in case more computers are needed, a wireless laptop can be called into service.
