History

Founding

The American Library Journal, later shortened to Library Journal, was founded on May 17, 1876, through a collaboration between publisher Frederick Leypoldt, librarian , and publisher R.R. Bowker, who met in to establish a dedicated trade publication for the emerging profession of librarianship. Leypoldt served as the initial publisher, with Dewey as managing editor and Bowker as general editor, reflecting their shared vision to professionalize library practices amid the rapid expansion of public and academic libraries in the United States. The first issue appeared on September 30, 1876, under the full title American Library Journal, with the "American" prefix dropped after that inaugural year to broaden its international appeal following adoption by the Library Association of the . Published monthly from by Leypoldt, the journal initially comprised about 36 pages per issue and focused on promoting library economy, including efficient management and resource allocation, as well as standardizing cataloging and classification systems to address the inconsistencies in growing library collections. Dewey's role was particularly influential, as his concurrent development of the system—first outlined in the journal's pages—underscored its commitment to innovative organizational tools for librarians. The journal's debut volume emphasized the burgeoning growth of U.S. libraries, documenting their increasing numbers and public impact, while featuring contributions on indexing methods, bibliographic control, and the need for professional organization among librarians. This content aligned closely with the simultaneous founding of the (ALA) at the 1876 conference, where the journal was designated as the ALA's official organ starting in October 1876, serving as a vital platform for disseminating conference proceedings and fostering national cooperation in the field. Through these efforts, the publication quickly became an indispensable tool for advancing standardized practices and professional dialogue in an era of library expansion.

Development and Ownership Changes

The journal ceased serving as the official organ of the in 1906. Ownership transitioned significantly in the mid-20th century as the journal adapted to broader industry consolidation. The R.R. Bowker Company retained control until 1985, when Reed International acquired it, later merging into Reed Elsevier, which continued publishing Library Journal with an emphasis on professional news and reviews. In 2010, Reed Elsevier sold the title to Media Source Inc., based in , the same company behind School Library Journal, allowing for synergies in library media coverage.

Star Libraries Program

The Star Libraries Program, launched by Library Journal in 2008, evaluated and rated U.S. public libraries using the LJ Index of Public Library Service to recognize outstanding performance in service delivery until placed on hiatus in 2023. The program drew on data from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Public Libraries Survey, focusing on per capita output measures such as circulation of materials, library visits, program attendance, and public internet computer use; e-circulation was incorporated starting in 2016. This data-driven approach allowed for standardized benchmarking, enabling libraries to compare their efficiency and effectiveness against peers while promoting improvements in national library statistics. The hiatus, announced in 2023, was to reassess the tool's metrics and purpose in light of post-pandemic changes in library services, with plans to gather community feedback for future enhancements. Libraries qualified for evaluation if they reported operating expenditures of at least $10,000, served a legal population of 1,000 or more, and provided complete data on the required output measures. Ratings were assigned on a five-star scale within nine expenditure-based peer groups, ranging from $10,000–$49,999 to over $30 million, where the top 30% of scorers received stars: the highest 10% earned five stars, the next 10% four stars, and the following 10% three stars. This tiered system highlighted relative excellence in resource utilization, with the minimum number of star-rated libraries set at around 255 annually to ensure consistent recognition. Since its inception, the program spotlighted libraries demonstrating superior service outputs relative to inputs, fostering a culture of accountability and innovation in operations. For instance, in the 2022 edition—the most recent assessment—258 libraries across the expenditure categories received star ratings, with Cuyahoga County Public Library in earning the top five-star designation in the over-$30 million budget group for its exceptional performance (updating from the 2018 example). Results were published each year in Library Journal, providing detailed reports that aided libraries in self-evaluation and peer comparison.
