About this journal

Aims and scope

New Review of Children’s Literature and Librarianship , published biannually, is multidisciplinary in nature, providing opportunities for the ‘pure’ discussion of children’s literature, and of issues relating to one of the key places in which to find such literature—libraries for young people. The journal therefore permits the sharing of ideas between those who study children’s literature, and those who provide it. New Review of Children’s Literature and Librarianship welcomes articles covering the management of library services to children and adolescents; education issues affecting library services; user education and the promotion of services; staff education and training; collection development and management; critical assessments of children's and adolescent literature; book and media selection; and research in literature and library services for children and adolescents.

The journal accepts original papers of both an experimental and theoretical nature, thereby providing a source of informed comment and advice for librarians in public and school libraries, and for critics and teachers of children’s literature around the world.

Peer Review Policy: All review papers in this journal have undergone editorial screening and anonymous peer review.

Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 530 Walnut Street, Suite 850, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
