History

ALISE is the successor organization to the Association of American Library Schools, which was founded in 1900. AALS replaced the American Library Association Roundtable of Library School Instructors but was not affiliated with the American Library Association until 1953. Organizationally, AALS and ALA had many connections, especially in the first 30 years of AALS's existence. Donald G. Davis traced the efforts within ALA for the improvement of library education.

''Journal of Education for Library and Information Science'' (JELIS)

Since 1960, ALISE has published the peer-reviewed scholarly publication, Journal of Education for Library and Information Science. JELIS serves as a primary source of research about issues pertinent to library and information science educators and scholars.
