YA Literature: Information Resources

I am just putting the finishing touches on my presentation for tomorrow's presentation on resources for YA literature. The amount of resources that are out there is outstanding. I am particularly impressed by the availability of reader’s advisory lists that can help librarians (as well as teachers, parents, clubs, teens… really anyone!) find a variety of materials that will ideally appeal to young adults. It is also nice that the ALA offers courses to help expand our awareness of YA lit, something that would be beneficial to take every few years to keep up with trends and new published materials.

Let’s hope that the presentation goes well and that my anxiety doesn’t show too much!
