- W85606413 abstract "recently released report entitled Future of Library Services For and With Teens: A Call to Action, funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services and published by YALSA, calls for significant change in the way libraries serve young adults. The library is no longer simply a quiet place to connect to physical content, the report argues. is instead a place, physical and virtual, to learn how to connect and use resources from of all types from physical books, to apps, to experts in a local, regional or national community. (1) Pointing to such innovative programs as the York public school Quest to Learn and the YOUMedia Lab at the Chicago Public Library, Future of Library Services report envisions change on a grand scale, describing libraries of the future as technology-filled hangouts and makerspaces where young people can access and participate in an increasingly technologically connected culture. Our move toward this future of library services for young adults will not happen all at once. It is clear that serious advocacy and the support of our institutions and local and national government and professional agencies will be necessary to affect such great changes. We can begin, however, to widen the focus of our services right now, by thinking about, adding to, and revising some of our current practices. One of the first places we can begin is in our own professional backyard--our libraries' collections of material for young adults. Our collections have expanded to include not only physical copies of books but also audio recordings in various formats; DVDs and digital media; graphic novels and comic books; and e-books and apps. This format and content explosion requires us to think about our collections--and how our libraries make these collections available--in new ways. future of library collections for teens will be characterized by innovation and will require us to rethink we collect, how we collect it, and where and how we make these collections available. Rethinking the Print Collection Young adult librarians have squabbled about the ideal composition of the young adult for years. Is it a of books and materials written and published for an audience of young people between the ages of 12 and 18, or is it a of books and materials read and requested by young adults that is inclusive of young adult, adult, and children's literature? increased popularity of young adult literature among adults--in 2012, Publishers Weekly reported that 55 percent of young adult book buyers were adults, 70 percent of whom were purchasing YA to read themselves--has added to this conundrum. (2) If the young adult is comprised of young adult literature ostensibly selected for young readers, are librarians to do about the adult readers clamoring for the next installment of Hunger Games or Divergent series? And about this New Adult category of literature featuring protagonists in their late teens and early twenties, YA-style angst, and sexier content? Maybe the best way to answer the what is the young adult collection question is by taking Future of Library Services report might call a whole library approach. This would require us, first, to think about young adult literature as a genre or form read and enjoyed by adults and young adults, in the same way we might think about any other genre or form of literature read and enjoyed by adults and young adults. This means thinking about young adult literature as just another type of literature, to be shelved and organized as a distinct in the same way our genre-separated mystery, romance, science fiction, fantasy, or horror collections might be shelved or organized. By defining the young adult in terms of its genre or form, and not in terms of its presumed audience or readership, we open up a of material that has historically been located in dedicated young adult spaces where adults may not be welcome. …" @default.
