Hi, Youth Services Librarians,

I received this email request asking for your assistance if you work with teens, ages 12 – 18. They really want to have representation from NJ librarians in the professional development resources that they will be developing so I hope that you will consider helping them out! They are trying to wrap up all the interviews by mid-April, so please sign-up at your earliest convenience if you would like to participate.  

Thanks!  ~ Sharon

Here’s the message:

“I am a researcher at the University of Maryland. My colleague Dr. Katie Davis from the University of Washington and I are conducting an IMLS-funded project called ConnectedLib to develop professional development toolkit to help youth services librarians design engaging programs for their young patrons. We would be very grateful if you would be willing to forward this information to the teen or youth services librarian groups in your state.  

We are looking for librarians to participate in 45-minute phone/Skype interviews to discuss

the needs of their youth patrons, their current programming, and their use of technology. For more information on the project, visit http://connectedlib.ischool.uw.edu. To sign up for an interview, visit http://go.umd.edu/connectedlibinterview.

Thank you for your help!”
