Increasingly, I've had librarians reach out to me for clarification on School Library Journal’s review process. These requests have often been sent because the librarian's selection of titles has been challenged, or in fear that they will be. On February 1, we're giving you a sneak peek behind our process. Some of the topics we’ll address include:

• Who are SLJ reviewers and how can you become one?
• How do we determine grade levels?
• How do we decide what materials get stars?

Please join us on February 1. I hope that this webcast will be a useful tool in protecting your students' shelves and right to read. Joining me will be a reviews editor, our former reviews director, and a middle school reviewer, who often must make tough selection decisions.

Feel free to add questions that you would like us to address in the comments.
