of librarianship in order to advance literacy and learning and to ensure
access to information in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The journal,
distributed to the membership, is used as a vehicle for members to exchange
information, ideas, and solutions to mutual problems in professional
articles on current topics in the library and information field.

virtually all library holdings, and provides this capability from a
single access point - EBSCOhost.
