Here is a guide chock-full of ideas – straight from the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) – for implementing the most popular virtual activities into your services. Get Connected offers detailed snapshots of the most cutting-edge technology-oriented programs sure to draw teens into the library – and keep them reading and accessing library resources. Topics include recreation- and education-based programs, working with special teen populations, drawing young readers in the social networking scene, tips for working with teen advisory groups, and YALSA’s innovative ideas for celebrating Teen Tech Week! Both novice and tech-savvy young adult librarians will find this book an essential resource for connecting with their patrons.
"A terrific guide for relating to teens and drawing them into the library with technology-based programs...The clear and detailed descriptions of programs that have worked for other libraries will give librarians some new ideas about ways to connect with teen patrons."
