It was a quarterly journal that published original, refereed research relevant to the researcher and practitioner communities. AARL was a forum for discussing significant issues of interest to librarianship and related information fields. The Journal aimed to showcase theoretical and practice-based research undertaken in, about, and relevant to, Australia and our broader region. AARL invited contributions from authors world-wide, working across the full range of information professions, as well as those in the higher education sector and research libraries.
