The mission of the REISL SIG is to enable educational researchers who are interested in school libraries to cultivate, enhance, and disseminate new scholarship in a supportive community. We encourage and recognize scholarly inquiry that provides diverse theoretical, methodological, and disciplinary insights. We also promote research in school libraries that addresses the multidimensional aspects of literacy including its personal, cognitive, social, and cultural dimensions. We seek to forge alliances with other educational researchers within AERA in order to provide interdisciplinary perspectives on ways to enhance student learning in school libraries.
