As the standards or guidelines of librarianship evolve, so do those interests; sometimes the times call for a book on capturing the interests of male teen patrons, or developing more efficient, high-tech systems. Whatever the concern, we hope to deliver valuable information from the experts and leaders of that field. Our aim is to publish books that explore new ideas in librarianship, improve the standards of the profession, and inform the work of ALA members, information services practitioners, educators, students, and even library users. Not only that, a bulk of the revenues from the books purchased contributes to the programs and initiatives of other divisions in ALA. Visit ALA Editions
