contents Isn't It Time for Youth Services Instruction to Grow Up? From Superstition to Scholarship Bernier, Anthony Youth Library Services History Librarians School Libraries Scholarship Library Science Youth Programs Library Instruction Values Beliefs Student Attitudes Library Associations The overarching assessment of youth services rendered by Leslie Edmonds in 1987 remains largely true today: that its most influential force remains not research, or evidence, or constant professional improvement or addressing field-based challenges, but "superstition." Research in youth services pedagogy, likewise, offers a perpetually weak response to the field's many and growing challenges. Professional associations advance long and undifferentiated lists of aspirations uninformed by evidence-based research. And course syllabi do not sufficiently differentiate conventional practice from the delivery of evidence-based and measurable definitions of success. Taken together, the teaching of youth services librarianship remains mired essentially in superstition, without a practice rooted in defensible evidence and lacking a clearly understandable, unique, and measurable indicator of success.
