Local to global: The importance of state-level journals to library literature

While the publishing needs of many state library associations are comfortably served by newsletters and Web sites, a number of state library associations produce major library journals that serve readers beyond their state membership. The author interviewed the editors of five state association Journals: Alki: The Washington Library Association journal, Colorado Libraries, North Carolina Libraries, Texas Library journal, and Virginia Libraries. The editors were asked to comment on the role, challenges, and future of state-level library journals.
