Academic journals are products of research or experiments to discover information about a specific topic. The author usually writes for his colleagues. Two journals written for libraries are School Library Media Research (SLMR) and Evidence Based Library and Information Practice (EBLIP). This article will compare these two journals and evaluate them as resources. Selection and Publication Process According to its website (AASL, n.d.), School Library Media Research began as School Library Media Quarterly Online. It is the official magazine of school libraries. It deals with multimedia programs in school libraries and their management, implementation and evaluation. Additionally, his articles include investigations of theory, methods, and issues relevant to the education of school library specialists. The journal accepts original research-based papers not previously submitted or accepted elsewhere. The author must double the line spacing of the document, use a 12-point font and one-inch margins. The document must contain an abstract of 100-200 words and be 25-30 pages long. It should also contain a first page with the title, author's name and address, a second page with the title and abstract, and a page with works cited at the end. WordPerfect and Microsoft Word are the word processing software of choice. (ASLA, n.d.)The editor accepts all articles and/or essays and then three to five reviewers review them. Reviewers – or judges – come from library media services at the building, district, or state level or are library educators. After an eight to twelve week review process, the selected article will be included in the journal. Even after publication, the article may receive reviews and comments...... mid-article.......
