The School Library Association of Victoria (SLAV)is the professional body for School Libraries in Victoria and offers dynamic, inspiring opportunities for teacher-librarians, librarians, and library team members to build their essential role in engaging and developing lifelong learners.

Through leadership, advocacy and collegiality, SLAV encourages and supports members to have an advocacy role in their school setting and beyond.

The journal aims to provide informative articles on a range of topics that are discussed and set by its Editorial Committee annually. The topics are chosen for their relevance to current issues which concern teacher-librarians, both secondary and primary in public and private schools. The topics range from technology to literature; from teaching students the information skills they will need in the twenty-first century to developing in students the skills and desire to become lifelong readers.
