| contents | Teen Savvy, Web Literate, and Multi-Talented: New Authors and Their Debut Novels for Young Adults Clark, Ruth Cox Young Adults School Libraries Librarians Novels Authors Secondary Schools Recreational Reading Adolescents Books Secondary school libraries often look much like research centers with banks of computers linked to databases related to curriculum topics. A glance into the library shows teens using online resources for research while trying to check their MySpace or Facebook page when they think the teacher or librarian is not looking. The librarian's weekly calendar is filled with classes signed up for research or instruction on how to use electronic resources. People sometimes forget that secondary school librarians are also the gatekeepers to the world of leisure reading for teens. It is tempting for the busy school librarian to quickly scan reviews and recommended lists and order the new Young Adult (YA) titles by recognized authors such as Chris Crutcher, Walter Dean Myers, Alex Flinn, Gail Giles, Laurie Halse Anderson, Nancy Werlin, Meg Cabot and others whose titles circulate well. But what about new authors who have no immediate name recognition? How does the busy school librarian ensure teens have an opportunity to experience debut novels by authors who may become favorites? This article presents new voices on the YA literature scene and discusses how to locate information about them. |
