L&M (LLAMA journal)

L&M focuses on assisting library administrators and managers at all levels as they deal with day-to-day challenges. In-depth articles address a wide variety of management issues and highlight examples of successful management methods used in libraries. Features include interviews with prominent practitioners in libraries and related fields, and columns with practical advice on managing libraries.
Authors are invited to submit original articles on topics that would be of interest to library leaders in all types of libraries. Topics of special interest would be those that address one or more of the 14 Foundational Competencies for Library Leaders and Managers that were identified by the LLAMA Competencies Committee. Each competency has been defined and includes citations to additional information as well as an example case study to demonstrate real world application.
 Please see the information for authors page for more details regarding format and submission of articles.
