- W2279882751 abstract "YALSA received funding to hold face-to-face summit and virtual own hall meetings in a national initiative titled National Forum on Libraries and Teens. These events bring together practitioners, stakeholders, and experts in the library, education, and technology communities to develop a white paper on how young adult services in libraries must develop in order to meet the informational and recreational needs of twelve to eighteen year olds. The forum will focus on three areas: 1. Research (what is known about the informational and recreational needs of young adults); 2. Programs and services (what library programs need in place to support these needs); and 3. Resources (what resources are needed to enable school and public libraries to effectively meet the informational and recreational needs of contemporary young adults). A major focus will be on how the library community can collaborate with other organizations, including academic institutions and national nonprofits and foundations, to support the needs of young adults. The project began in October 2012, and here we'd like to provide information about the project's importance, how it will make a difference and how you can get involved. Why Is the Forum Important? As all of us know, libraries are vital but challenged source of support for the growing youth population in the United States. The Opportunity for All study reported that youth ages fourteen to twenty-four make up 25 percent of all library users and that youth were drawn to libraries to use computers, receive help with homework, socialize, and participate in programming. (1) Similarly, school libraries are available to about 62 percent of youth enrolled in public schools and youth turn to their school libraries for recreational reading, learning support, and technology access. (2) However, critical library resources are endangered by widespread economic impacts on public and school libraries. (3,4,5,6) Less access to libraries particularly challenges our young adults. For them, libraries are essential for social learning. (7) They also gain new literacies for learning and expression at libraries, which supplements the strictures of centralized, classroom curriculums. (8,9,10) Young adults also use libraries to gain workplace preparedness. (11,12) Building on Past Success In recognition of these serious circumstances, the team at YALSA decided that it was time to build on past efforts to raise awareness in the library community. These previous efforts include: * The Young Adult Services Division (YALSA's previous name) sent delegates to a White House Conference on in 1960. * In 1979 the ALA Caucus sent delegates to the White House Conference on Library and Information Services. * In 2002 the White House hosted a conference on school libraries. * In 2003 Museums and Libraries Engaging America's Youth final report was published. * In 2008 the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) hosted a discussion on the future of museums and libraries. These past events helped YALSA to grow as an organization, and increased awareness about young adult librarianship--a mission the current national forum will take further. The forum will enable the library community to identify and gain understanding of the steps it needs to take in order to provide effective service to young adults who live in a fast-moving and technologically based world. How Will the Forum Help? As we mentioned, the forum will focus on three areas: research, programs and services and resources. The outcome of the events will be the development and dissemination of a white paper that addresses each of these areas. The white paper will be a call to action for the library and education communities and beyond. The forum includes events that will help current and future librarians develop effective services and resources for young adults by informing current practice and graduate school curricula. …" @default.
