ALA Core journals - Information Technology and Libraries, Library Leadership & Management, and Library Resources & Technical Services - are seeking new peer reviewers. These journals provide a trusted platform through which scholars, students, educators, practitioners, and professionals in the Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAM) and information science communities exchange knowledge, ideas, and expertise that drives innovation and excellence in technology implementation in these domains.

We welcome applications from individuals at libraries of all types, levels of experience, locations, perspectives, and voices at the intersection of libraries and information technology. Please note the following areas of need:



  *   ITAL is particularly interested in reviewers with interest and experience in artificial intelligence or digital accessibility, but welcomes all reviewers with experience in any area of ITAL's publishing scope.<https://ital.corejournals.org/index.php/ital/about/submissions#authorGuidelines>
  *   LRTS is particularly interested in reviewers that have expertise in change management theory and practice, but welcomes all reviewers with experience in any area of LRTS's publishing scope<https://journals.ala.org/index.php/lrts/about/editorialPolicies#focusAndScope>.

Training on processes and the Open Journal System platform is part of the onboarding process.
