Young Adult Resources Today: Connecting Teens with Books, Music,
Games, Movies, and More is the first comprehensive young adult
library services textbook specifically written for today's
multidimensional information landscape. The authors integrate a
research-focused information behavior approach with a
literature-focused resources approach, and bring together in one
volume key issues related to research, theory, and practice in the
provision of information services to young adults. Currently, no
single book addresses both YA information behaviors and information
resources in any detail; instead, books tend to focus on one and
give only cursory attention to the other. Key features of this
revolutionary book include its success in: *Integrating theory,
research, and practice *Integrating implications for practice
throughout the book *Integrating knowledge of resources with
professional practice as informed by research *Integrating both
print and electronic formats throughout-within the resource
chapters (including websites and social media) Latham and Gross
accomplish all this while, paying particular attention to the
socially constructed nature of young adulthood, diversity, YA
development, and multiple literacies. Their coverage of information
landscapes covers literature (with detailed coverage of both genres
and subgrenres), movies, magazines, web sites, social media, and
gaming. The final chapter cover navigating information landscapes,
focusing on real and virtual YA spaces, readers' advisory,
programming, and collaboration. Special attention is paid to
program planning and evaluation.
This edited book helps demystify how to incorporate ACRL's
Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education into
information literacy instruction in higher education as well as how
to teach the new Framework to pre-service librarians as part of
their professional preparation. This single volume demonstrates
professional practice by bringing together current case studies
from librarians in higher education who are implementing the
Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education as well as
cases from educators in library and information science, who are
working to prepare their pre-service students to practice in the
new instructional environment. Instructional librarians,
administrators, and educators will benefit from the experiences the
people on the ground who are actively working to make the
transition to the Framework in their professional practice.

Paying attention to subtext is a crucial component of literacy.
However, the concept of peritextual analysis takes such examination
much further, teaching readers how to evaluate information and
sources using elements that precede or follow the body of the text.
A work's Preface, Afterword, index, dust jacket, promotional
blurbs, and bibliography are only some of the elements that can be
used to help readers connect with and understand the main text.
Speaking directly to librarians and educators working with K-16
students, this important book outlines the Peritextual Literacy
Framework and explains its unique utility as a teaching and
thinking tool; defines components such as production elements,
promotional elements, navigational elements, intratextual elements,
supplemental elements, and documentary elements, offering examples
drawn from both print and non-print texts; presents several case
studies showing peritextual analysis in action, ranging from young
adult nonfiction in the classroom to strengthening students' visual
literacy skills by critically comparing and contrasting two graphic
novel covers; and examines how the functions of peritext and the
Peritextual Literacy Framework exist within online news articles,
film and media packaging, and other non-print texts. The creative
and engaging approaches to providing, highlighting, and teaching
the peritext of a text showcased in this collection will help
students learn how to judge a book by its cover ... and everything
else.
