The 2009 2010 president of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), Linda W. Braun is an education technology consultant with LEO: Librarians & Educators Online. She provides training and consulting to schools, libraries, and other educational institutions on how to integrate technology successfully. She is also an adjunct faculty member at Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science, where she teaches courses on Web development and teen services. Linda has written books for ALA Editions, Neal-Schuman, Libraries Unlimited, and Information Today. She is also a TAG Team Tech columnist for Voices of Youth Advocates, and was blog manager for YALSA from 2006 through 2009.
In this clear and informative title, Braun encourages librarians to involve teens in technology-related activities and projects that will benefit them and others. She responds to questions regarding participation, benefits to patrons and libraries, and training. The author provides numerous suggestions for activities (book-oriented blogs, fan sites, online tutorials, e-mail newsletters, etc.), and templates for specific programs. For each program outlined, she answers the who, what, where, and why of youth involvement and includes a thorough responsibility checklist. Chapters also deal with overcoming obstacles to achieve success. Appendixes include a list of the National Youth Participation Guidelines (YALSA), a "Youth Participation Technology Checklist," samples of volunteer and self-assessment forms, and suggestions for software. This excellent volume is a must for libraries with teen groups, and a consideration for those that don't have them.
