The journal accepts manuscripts from librarians throughout the Southeastern United States, but gives preference to submissions from librarians affiliated with Florida libraries and institutions. Part of the journal's mission is to create a space for Florida librarians to be published, as well as to provide support for the region's professionals with its content. Articles include "original research, case studies, literature reviews, reflective essays, conference reports, student scholarship, and book reviews."[4] Articles cover challenges and ideas regarding librarianship in public, academic, and special collections settings. Articles also cover archival resources in Florida.[5]
