In this provocative call to action that encourages LIS students,
researchers, and practitioners to question some of the underlying
assumptions of their discipline, Bernier initiates an open
discussion about how YA professionals perceive young adults.
Exploring the question of what an LIS-specific vision of young
adults should be, this book offers a wide array of provocative
positions with implications for libraries in literacy initiatives,
YA space, intergenerational interactions, and civic life.
Research-based articles and essays from leading scholars and
practitioners examine young adults in historical and conceptual
contexts, such as the ways in which social theory is rapidly
changing the essence of YA librarianship. The variety of
perspectives and analyses offered will launch a vigorous new debate
on how libraries and those in the field think of and serve young
adults.
