CHICAGO – The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) seeks a dynamic group of school library professionals to serve on the Knowledge Quest (KQ) and School Library Research (SLR) Editorial Boards. These publications move the profession forward by highlighting school library best practices and emergent research in the field. For more information and the application, visit .

“AASL’s professional journals are an extension of the school library community and our never-ending professional learning,” said Kathy Lester, AASL president-elect. “Knowledge Quest has proven to be essential and timely during these tumultuous two years and I can’t wait to see what is next. School Library Research is a peer-reviewed research journal dedicated to school librarianship and continues to publish rigorous and valuable research for our profession.”

The Knowledge Quest Editorial Board works under the direction of the chair and editor to ensure the journal’s features, articles, content experts, and authors are relevant, current, and meet the needs of AASL’s diverse membership and the school library profession. Members of the editorial board identify the focus of feature articles and topics for related articles for each issue, along with potential content experts and authors. Members also serve as liaisons to content expert(s) to help direct, shape and review the editorial content for each issue.

The SLR Editorial Board works under the direction of the SLR Editor(s) to review manuscripts in a timely fashion and ensure the research journal is relevant, current, and meets the needs of AASL’s diverse membership. Members of the editorial board will review manuscripts and encourage submissions. They are also expected to offer insight and suggestions for additional research areas for coverage as well as promote the content and value of SLR.

“To be a part of either editorial board is a tremendous opportunity for personal and professional growth. I do hope all AASL members will consider applying,” said Lester.

Applications must be received by 11:59 p.m. Central on April 26, 2022. Applicants will be notified by June 1.
