The Journal of Academic Librarianship is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes articles on a broad range of topics that deal with academic libraries. The editor is David Kohl.

The journal, sometimes called JAL, also publishes book reviews, analytical articles, and bibliographic essays. Many of the articles include statistical analyses of issues and trends relating to academic libraries, and some are speculative about the future role of college and university libraries.

Although the journal is not open-access, its web site does allow free access to JAL's tables of contents. ----
