2025 Law Library Journal Readership Survey

Since 1908, Law Library Journal (LLJ) has been the official peer-reviewed journal of the American Association of Law Libraries. Scholarly articles on law, legal materials, and librarianship are the mainstay of the Journal. Practice-oriented articles and historical records of the profession and Association are also included. LLJ is published quarterly, and available as a digital-only publication, with a print-on-demand option.

The Law Library Journal Editorial Board is asking for feedback to help them better understand how you are engaging with LLJ content. The data provided will be used to inform future volumes of LLJ. We value your feedback and ask that you please complete this short survey by December 5, 2025. All responses will be kept confidential.
