A.4 Clarifying 1st amendment: Exposing Hate: Prejudice, Hatred, and Violence in Action by Michael Miller discusses differences between “free speech” & “hate speech.” Important info esp for YA readers to spark critical conversations. #IS445 #inforesources
A.3 Learning about refugees’ lives = way 2 build #empathy. The Unwanted: Stories of Syrian Refugees by Don Brown = nonfic graphic novel can help readers vicariously experience emotions of refugees w/potential to change behaviors toward classmates/others. #is445 #inforesources
A.2 The voices of #diverse youth increases relevance of #library collection. Highly recommend We Are Here to Stay: Voices of Undocumented Young Adults by @SusanKuklin – true life stories for increasing compassionate #empathy! #is445 #inforesources
A.1 Factual info = power leads to activism! Websites like #weredefy international non-profit org led by @ziadtheactivist Ziad Ahmed. Info shared/curated by teens/4 teens - goal 2 promote “acceptance/defy stereotypes/and defeat hate” #is445 #inforesources https://t.co/GYA6zmUs0k
A.1 nonfiction/informational resources for youth can promote equity in the library collection by making it as diverse as possible, which means that the resources will reflect the lives of all children accurately and comprehensively #inforesources #is445
Are Memoirs Informational Books? In #is445 expository texts/narrative nonfiction/biography/autobiography/memoir=informational texts. How do we evaluate #inforesources when “facts” are difficult to document? #aasl #futurereadylibs #txlchat #tlchat Comments? https://t.co/nP07UdtUgq
A.4 - 77% of librarians are non-Latinx White/79% identify as female – How can we attract more #POC, men, and nonbinary people to the library profession and improve our collective ability to navigate the complexity of authenticity in #inforesources #is445 https://t.co/tmkFzdM6PQ
A.4) One of my concerns re: effective #KidLit & #YA #InfoResources evaluation: finding reliably diverse review sources. Even professional reviewers miss issues w/ titles written outside their experience, so relying on White, middle-class, etc. review sources is not ideal. #IS445
A.3 Self-questioning supports effective #kidlit & #YAlit nonfiction resource selection by recognizing our own biases & how our experiences affect our beliefs. We can see identities we choose for ourselves & can relate 2 those seen in nonfiction works. #is445 #inforesources
A.3: Inclusion with respect to personal identity is important to a healthy, open, free-information access society. #YAlit #inforesources #is445 (2/2)
A.3 Finding points of intersection builds understanding/increases empathy. Deepens connection among people/events/emotions. Important to consider not only w/fiction but with w/ #inforesources too! #is445
A.3) When evaluating #KidLit & #YA #InfoResources, recognize gaps in your knowledge. Is the resource #OwnVoices? What do members of the community it claims to speak of/for think of it? Know how your identities & experiences inform your perspectives & seek insider feedback! #IS445
A.2: ...I evaluated this book based on its genuine perspective of families and diversity. #is445 #inforesources #kitlit #YAlit
This is a really good example related to the question. I could see this being played out in a school setting. The idea of avoiding books because of factual problems is far more appealing than avoiding them bc a group disapprovesj of the books' contents. #is445 #inforesources
#is445 A1. Censorship is not acquiring or promoting materials because it is objectionable by some individual or group. Selection is not acquiring or promoting materials because there are factual problems with the content, such as stereotypes and misinformation.
A.2: The book Families from #SusanKuklin presented some potentially controversial material. This book offered a realistic, diverse take on family structure that our society needs to see. These are OUR families. This is how WE look. #inforesources #kitlit #YAlit #is445
A.1 Selection in #libraries is based on a set of criteria (accuracy/authenticity/free from stereotypes); #kidlit #YAlit censorship is often based on political considerations/fear of controversy. #inforesources #is445
A.1) Selection in #KidLit: not adding upcoming #YA #LGBTQ title “We Are Totally Normal” to K-5 classroom b/c of age group. Self-censorship: nixing “And Tango Makes Three” for K-5 classroom b/c of the “controversial” topic.
