Contents

ALISE is a non-profit professional association for faculty, staff, and students in the library and information sciences and allied disciplines. [2]

History

ALISE is the successor organization to the Association of American Library Schools (AALS), which was founded in 1900. [3] AALS replaced the American Library Association (ALA) Roundtable of Library School Instructors (1911–1915) but was not affiliated with the American Library Association until 1953. [4] Organizationally, AALS and ALA had many connections, especially in the first 30 years of AALS's existence. [5] Donald G. Davis traced the efforts within ALA for the improvement of library education. [6]

Journal of Education for Library and Information Science (JELIS)

Since 1960, ALISE has published the peer-reviewed scholarly publication, Journal of Education for Library and Information Science. JELIS serves as a primary source of research about issues pertinent to library and information science educators and scholars. [7]
