Knowlege Quest
Published five times a year AASL's print journal, Knowledge Quest, is devoted to offering substantive information to assist building-level library media specialists, supervisors, library educators and other decision makers concerned with the development of school library media programs and services. Articles address the integration of theory and practice in school librarianship and new developments in education, learning theory and relevant disciplines.
School library media specialists in elementary and secondary schools read Knowledge Quest. These professionals are responsible for the selection, acquisition, cataloging, maintenance and circulation of books, periodicals, audiovisual materials and computer software and accompanying hardware. The readers of Knowledge Quest also provide reference service, reading guidance, instruction in information retrieval skills and access to the Internet and other electronic resources. They collaboratively plan instructional units with teachers in elementary and secondary public and nonpublic schools.
Price: The Media Kit for Knowledge Quest is available online. Please contact Bill Spilman
of Innovative Media Solutions, 309-483-6467, for more information about advertising in Knowledge Quest.
