I am not a librarian but I did take a graduate level course in library science and was introduced to this periodical. Library Journal is quite comprehensive in its coverage it features articles pertaining to the discipline, features on libraries and some of the innovations in spotlighted libraries, the use of technology in libraries (a recent issue spotlighted a small library in MA where patrons could check out Nooks, Kindles, and iPads!), and many more.
One of my favorite sections in the journal is the sheer number of book reviews which gives an avid reader like me lots of suggestions as to books to be placed on my To Be Read (TBR) list. Many of the reviews feature books which are in pre-publication and there is also quite a comprehensive coverage of audio books, DVDs, software, and many more. I also like the suggested reads by practicing and retired librarians. Bibliophiles and librarians will find lots to enjoy in this quality journal.
