Children’s and YA Book Blogs: Enhancing Library Services.
Sunday, June 27, 2010
8 a.m – 10 a.m.
I presented with Travis from 100 Scope Notes and Pam from MotherReader. Despite competing popular programming, such as the YALSA “speed dating with authors” coffee klatch, as well as an 8:00 a.m. start date, 130 people attended this panel on using book blogs to assist in library services such as collection development, readers advisory, and programming.
The PowerPoint, should you want to look at it, is available at SlideShare at http://www.slideshare.net/eaburns/ala-presentation
Travis has a terrific video at his website; and Pam also reports on ALA at her blog. The Photo is from Mitali Perkins. (Thanks Mitali who doesn't know I borrowed it...well, she knows now.)
Blogs mentioned in the PowerPoint, in order they were initially mentioned. All were accessed and live as of June 2010; I added a couple of updated URLs were appropriate.

Sorry I missed this, I was at Marlo Thomas and then the YA author thing...so glad you had such great turn out.
Thanks, Liz, for this recap and the updated links, including mine. Wish I could have heard that talk!
Will you be at ALA Midwinter? I hear it's going to be here in San Diego!
Susan, there are always so many good things at the same time.
Melissa, yes! It's January 7 to 11 : http://www.ala.org/ala/conferencesevents/upcoming/midwinter/index.cfm
I keep reading about the ALA conference that a lot of book bloggers went to and am extremely jealous! Looks like you had a good time. Thanks for the info on the upcoming conference - San Diego sounds like a great place to be in January! :)
Liz, thanks so much for including my blog on your list. I wish I had been able to attend ALA this year!
