School Library SIG Activities:

One of the main responsibilities of the School Library SIG was to alternatively administer the ALISE/LMC Paper Award with the Youth Services SIG.  This award is sponsored by the Library Media Connection, which provides funding for the best research paper in a competitive double blind review process.  Committee members serving on the review committee are appointed by the leadership of each SIG and alternate between the School Library Media SIG and the Youth Services SIG.
