The first issue is printed and mailed to SCASL members as well as school librarians, principals, and superintendents across the state and other stakeholders. The remaining three issues are available in digital format.

Chairperson:

The Editorial Committee Chair is selected by the SCASL President.

Duties:

1. Assist with reviewing articles that have been submitted - editing spelling/grammar errors that are spotted and confirming any needed citations/permissions for images that might accompany the article. This will be shared across the board with all committee members.

2. Encouraging people in your represented region/group to submit an article so you would contact the media specialists at the independent/private schools whose media specialists are SCASL members.

3. Attending online meetings as needed for each publication cycle. This way no travel is involved. Meetings will be mostly for the purpose of organizing things for the coming issue (fall, winter, spring, summer), brainstorming ideas needed, etc.
