Technology isn't just for the teens...it's for the teen librarians too! Many teen librarians are embracing blogs and social media. I found many helpful websites, but here were two of particular note:
- http://www.lizburns.org/
- Liz Burns used to be a reviewer for the School Library Journal, before moving onto her own website. She reviews books, movie and television shows, but her emphasis is on YA literature. Ms. Burns is a librarian at the National Library Services for the Blind and Physically Handicapped and participated in YALSA's Outreach to Young Adult with Special Needs. She is active on Twitter and Tumblr, and has written much of her own work to help develop YA services.
- http://www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/tag/teens/
- This is a link to the all the posts tagged 'teens' in "In the Library With the Lead Pipe", a blog dedicated to acting as an open-source, open-peer review journal for librarians and boasts an international board of contributors. There are not many 'teens' posts as of yet, but the few that are there are good reads. I look forward to any more that might pop up, and will continue to browse this blog across their tags.
