Blogging by and for academic and research librarians

Open Culture: The best free cultural & educational media on the web The official blog of the Young Adult Library Services Association Greetings, YALSA members and interested parties! The first month of the journey of this year’s presidential theme, Striving for Equity Using YALSA’s Teen Services Competencies for Library Staff is nearly over, and soon we will be looking at equity issues through the lens of each of the ten competencies. But before we move into August, I want to express appreciation to the many members and others who recently have taken the time to talk to me about what YALSA means to them, how YALSA could help them in their day job, and how fulfilling working with teens can be.
