@GLIS_739 W14 Takeway from NYT article: A positive example of technology connecting people with similar interests. I would have loved BookTube & BookTok when I was a teen! #glis739

[Marisa Kuras @MarisaKuras]

@GLIS_739 W14 Takeaway from Jensen article: great tips for YA Lit Podcasts. I am checking out "Text Messages" first, since I'm very new to librarianship. #glis739

[Marisa Kuras @MarisaKuras]

@GLIS_739 Takeaway from Wrapping Up lecture: the controversies on YA Twitter are complex and not easily resolved. Like so many online spaces, both cyber bullying and public shaming are rampant. #glis739

@GLIS_739 Takeaway from Libbhy Romero's talk: 1/2 of New Yorkers speak a language other than English at home. #glis739

[Marisa Kuras @MarisaKuras]

@GLIS_739 Yes, thank you

[Marisa Kuras @MarisaKuras]

@GLIS_739 Hi Professor, are there recorded lectures for the nonfiction, intellectual freedom, and wrapping up lectures? Right now I can only find slides for those 3. #glis739

@GLIS_739 W13 takeaway: Section II of the Library Bill of Rights says "Libraries should provide materials and information presenting all points of view on current and historical issues." This was my main argument for defending The Hate U Give. #glis739

[Marisa Kuras @MarisaKuras]

@GLIS_739 The Hate U Give voices the fears, anxieties, and frustrations POC teens feel about unjust policing in America #FReadom #glis739

@GLIS_739 Here's an NPR article that sums up the "Top 10 Most Challenged Books" of 2021 #glis739 https://t.co/WDCLJrLXZm

@GLIS_739 W12 takeaway from Graphic Novels primer: LGBT Manga is often self-censored by librarians (never purchased for collection). #glis739

[Marisa Kuras @MarisaKuras]

@GLIS_739 W12 Takeaway from Drew & Wagstaff recording: New streaming technologies make purchasing movies & TV shows very complicated for libraries. Companies like Netflix want content to be exclusive to their platform, which prevents libraries from providing them. #glis739

[Marisa Kuras @MarisaKuras]

@GLIS_739 My primary reading, Vincent & Theo, did this well—told the biography of Vincent Van Gogh though letters to & from his brother Theo. #glis739

[Marisa Kuras @MarisaKuras]

@GLIS_739 W11 Cart reading takeaway: Nonfiction should develop characters by giving details. Anecdotes, vivid scenes, quoting from primary materials. #glis739

[Marisa Kuras @MarisaKuras]

@GLIS_739 W11 Aronson video takeaway: nonfiction can be read at the same complexity in which one reads fiction. Talk to kids about how different NF books can show different takes of the same subject. #glis739

[Marisa Kuras @MarisaKuras]

Lastly, it’s small and short so I could see a teen keeping it nearby to refer to as needed. #glis739

@GLIS_739 W11 Sex Ed book recommendation: Real Talk About Sex & Consent by Cheryl M. Bradshaw #glis739

[Marisa Kuras @MarisaKuras]

The focus on consent makes it feel modern and timely. It also talks about the difference between real life and porn, which is such an important subject for today’s teens—one that is unique to their generation due to the internet. #glis739

@GLIS_739 W10: Here's a Buzz Feed list of new YA Thrillers & Mysteries for y'all. I chose it because it has 2 books the professor noted in the lecture this week. Also, Buzz Feed keeps its finger on the pulse of teen culture. #glis739 https://t.co/7fugxKrBzB
