Booklist Selection Policy | About ALA Revised 1999 Booklist operates under policies established by the Publishing Committee of the American Library Association. Its primary purpose is to provide a guide to current library materials in many formats appropriate for use in public libraries and school library media centers. The needs of small and medium-sized libraries receive special consideration in all selection decisions. All materials reviewed in the Adult Books, Books for Youth, and Media sections are recommended for purchase by libraries and media centers. This recommended-only policy, in place since Booklist's founding in 1905, has been adapted over the decades to reflect changes in the philosophy of public library service. Reviewers recommend materials judged to be of interest to libraries representing a great variety of communities, readerships, and resources. A star indicates a work judged by a reviewer to be outstanding in its genre. Adult Books Books for Youth Media Reference Sources
