<p class=MsoNormal>Take a look at these graphic novel list guidelines. If
given time, we might discuss them at the OYAN membership meeting at the
Fernridge Public Library. We, the graphic novel subcommittee, discussed
and made the on our best intuitions about what we thought would be most useful.
However, we would like input as to your thoughts.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Focus on popular titles: YALSA makes a great
list featuring some of the graphic novels of perhaps more “literary”
nature. Rather than recreate YALSA’s wheel, we decided to have the
list focus on popular titles, helping librarians make decisions among requests
for characters/genres they are more often hearing from their teen user
community.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Number of books on the list: Are we going to get
enough librarians to participate (and those that do to read enough of the
nominees) to get are targeted number of titles?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Publication dates. Are we giving ourselves enough
time, given the world of mouth nature of the format, to read these titles
before they are out of our consideration range?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I will try to remember to bring enough copies of the guidelines
for everyone.<o:p></o:p></p>
