To say that graphic novels, comics, and other forms of sequential
art have become a major part of popular culture and academia would
be a vast understatement. Now an established component of library
and archive collections across the globe, graphic novels are
proving to be one of the last vestiges of the printed form actually
gaining in popularity. Full of practical advice and innovative
ideas for librarians, educators, and archivists, this book provides
a wide-reaching look at how graphic novels and comics can be used
to their full advantage in educational settings. Topics include:
the historically tenuous relationship between comics and
librarians; the aesthetic value of sequential art; the use of
graphic novels in library outreach services; graphic novel
collection evaluations for both American and Canadian libraries;
tips and tricks for cataloging comics; and, the swiftly growing
realm of webcomics.
