Get Connected: Tech Programs for Teens

Honnold, the young adult services coordinator at Coshocton public library in Ohio, outlines proven educational and recreational technology programs designed to attract teens to the library. Examples in the book reflect the experiences of real libraries and real students, with b&w photos to prove it! Readers can follow the models closely or adapt them to fit. The book also shares ideas for establishing tech-focused teen advisory groups, and outlines ways to improve a library's web presence using technologies teens like and use themselves. Throughout the book, "tech notes" boxes introduce new terms, products, and concepts and offer lists of print and Web resources for further research. Appendices offer a questionnaire and guidelines from the ALA and the YALSA. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
