About the Book

How should LIS envision its young adult users? Now showcasing an even more rigorous debate about the theory and practice of YA librarianship than its first edition, this "provocative presentation of diverse viewpoints by leaders in the field" (Catholic Library World) has been updated and expanded to incorporate recent advances in critical youth studies. A comprehensive, evidence-based treatment that offers LIS instructors, students, and practitioners a valuable tool for aligning YA services to more fully reflect our diverse populations of young people, this collection delves deeply into such topics as

  • the historical roots for current theories and practice;
  • how intellectual freedom, storytelling, library collections, and other service topics can connect with the library's notion and vision of young adults;
  • diverse YA identities, including critical race theory;
  • competing perspectives on young adults' rights in libraries;
  • envisaging YA librarianship from a teen-centered perspective;
  • youth identities and the school library; and
  • moving beyond coaching to copilot with young adults.

About the Author: Anthony Bernier, PhD, is professor at California's San José State University School of Information. As a critical youth studies scholar, Dr. Bernier explores the administration of library services with young people as his primary field of research. The iSchool has awarded him Distinguished Service, Outstanding Professor, and Outstanding Researcher Awards. He received two National Leadership Grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (on library spaces for young people), one from ALA's Diversity Research Committee, and another from the Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE) in support of his research on first-generation graduate students. He also served a four-year term on ALA's Committee on Accreditation, chaired several national professional and academic associations, was recently elected chair of ALA's Library History Round Table, and currently writes the regular "YA Strike Zone" column for Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA). A practicing YA specialist librarian and administrator for 15 years, he designed the first purpose-built library space for teenaged youth, the Los Angeles Public Library's acclaimed Teen'Scape, and produced nationally recognized youth outreach and programming models. Dr. Bernier's doctoral dissertation at the University of California examined changing notions of public space in twentieth-century America.
