[yscon] Keynote speaker for teen services online conference

Fri May 5 05:03:52 PDT 2017

Hi Katherine,

I second Cathy's recommendation in working with YALSA. I contacted them for a workshop speaker for our state conference, and they were easy to work with. I would contact Executivve Director, Beth Yoke: Beth Yoke ‎[byoke at ala.org]‎

Our workshop speaker was Denise Agosto, Professor at Drexel University. She specializes in information literacy and teen development and she has an article in YALS that should be out this month on a recent study; I've attached a few handouts for reference. However, she spoke to our group on advocacy and building your case when working with management to expand resources at your library for teen services. I know it sounds a bit dry, but it was a highly interactive workshop and our participants came away exteremely pleased and inspired. I'm not sure how it would translate in an online environment, but it would be worth exploring.

As I think of more folks, I will send them your way!

Best of luck,
~Krista

I’ve actually teamed up with YALSA for a fall workshop this year and I know they offer webinars.  Last fall I bought a group of seats and gave them to librarians to attend a YALSA webinar for free.  I recommend contacting: Linda W Braun lbraun at leonline.com<mailto:lbraun at leonline.com>, who coordinates their trainings.

Hi everyone,

We are starting to plan an online teen services conference. We haven’t provided any workshops for teen librarians recently, so we’re trying this approach.

If you were planning something similar, who would you select for your keynote speaker?

It could be an author, inspiring teen, or an inspiring person (even a librarian!). If you all can provide some names to help us get started, that would be so helpful. Assuming that federal funding continues, we may be able to pay a speaker fee.

Thanks in advance for your help!
Katherine
