[OYAN] Solicitations for #MeToo Collection Development Best Practices

[Traci GLASS]

*Sent on behalf of YALSA's Collection Development in the Light of #MeToo
Workgroup:*

Hello!

With the Kavanaugh hearings and the Cosby sentencing, #MeToo continues to
occupy our minds and permeate our conversations with teens, library staff,
and other patrons. A workgroup has been created within YALSA to collect and
curate materials that specifically reference or provide best practices
around collection development in light of #MeToo for those staff who work
for and with teens.

We plan to collect, organize, and provide access to information that will
help staff *balance important intellectual freedom principals with the need
to consider the impact of the #MeToo movement on teens and the materials
they are encountering at their libraries*.

Have you come across content that might help fellow Teen Services staff
around this issue? Content can be articles, blog posts, research, reports,
continuing education materials and/or sample library policies.

Please send any information you think would be informative or helpful to
have to emily.m.townsend at gmail.com by October 10, 2018.

Thank you!
Emily Townsend
