SLAV Journals
SLAV publishes two journals: FYI, which is distributed four times a year, and Synergy, which is produced twice a year as an online publication. Members also receive a fortnightly newsletter that updates them on current events and opportunities.
FYI: the journal for information professionalsThe journal aims to provide informative articles on a range of topics that are discussed and set by its Editorial Committee annually. The topics are chosen for their relevance to current issues which concern teacher-librarians, both secondary and primary in public and private schools. The topics range from technology to literature; from teaching students the information skills they will need in the twenty-first century to developing in students the skills and desire to become lifelong readers.
