Alki: The Washington Library Association Journal
Alki is the open access, peer-reviewed journal of the Washington Library Association.
Alki’s purpose is to communicate philosophical and substantive analyses of current and enduring issues for and about Washington libraries, personnel, and advocates and to facilitate the exchange of research, opinion, and information.
Recently Published: We All Belong
This issue of Alki takes up the WLA 2024 conference theme of “We All Belong.” Libraries work hard to embody this ideal, and this issue hopes to capture some of the many ways those within the Washington library community strive towards that goal.
Inside this issue, you will find pieces on increasing accessibility in online materials, creating family-friendly spaces in academic libraries, and supporting 2SLGTBQIA+ communities in our libraries. Also included are articles on the importance of building community in rural libraries as well as an overlooked space in archives research: personal UFO collections. Additionally, as the conference issue, you’ll find updates on the community at large, including the WLA Mentor program, the WLA 2024 Merit Award winners, the 2024 ALA conference, and the news from this year’s Washington state legislative session.
