Library Journal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Library Journal is a trade publication for librarians. It was founded in 1876 by Melvil Dewey (familiar as the inventor of the Dewey decimal system). It reports news about the library world, emphasizing public libraries, and offers feature articles about aspects of professional practice. It also reviews library-related materials and equipment. Its "Library Journal Book Review" does prepublication reviews of several hundred books each month which influence library purchases and receive considerable attention from publishers. These evaluations are written by carefully screened outside reviewers - public, academic, and special librarians, academic faculty members, and other subject specialists. Books chosen by the editors for review range from the most popular to the scholarly and include all subject areas. Library Journal is the most-read magazine for librarians, with a circulation of approximately 100,000. Its ISSN is 0000-0027.
Library Journal's original publisher was Frederick Leypoldt, whose company became R. R. Bowker. It is now published by Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier.
