Library Journal
Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIB : Library Journal
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 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.
