Reaching out to teens online

OK-So maybe I've just been in library school too long but I just love to read library articles and stay up on the latest. This article was just shared on the C'YAAL ( Colorado Young Adult Advocates in Libraries) listserv about online marketing to teens.

While the article is dealing with how authors and publishers are trying (and sometimes succeeding quite nicely, thank you very much) in reaching teens online, it makes me think about how we can apply the same kinds of practices. What do you think?

Sounds Del.icio.us!

One of the reasons for this Teen Services blog is for it to serve as a resource on teen services for ALD Staff. That's why on the right of the page, you will find links to selected web sites. The first set of links are to ALD related sites. One that you will see there is the ALD del.icio.us social bookmarking site. I just read an interesting article about how libraries are using del.icio.us which you can view here. It's a little long but it is a very complee article if you would like to get a better understanding of what social bookmarking and tools like del.icio.us are all about. Looks like we are on the right track with trying this!

I encourage you to check out the other links and if you have any suggestions on ones to add, please let us know!
