[LM_NET] TAR: ELEM and SECONDARY: Author study resources

[Toni Buzzeo <tonibuzzeo@TONIBUZZEO.COM>]

Hello Colleagues,

Now that Labor Day is past, it's really and truly 
autumn :> and seriously chilly up here in 
Maine.  I'm in the process of updating a list of 
print and online resources children and teens can 
use to do biographical and critical research on 
Juvenile and Young Adult Authors.  I'd love your 
help in making this list more complete.  Where 
would you send your students to search for 
information about a children's or YA author's 
life, work, awards, and critical responses to his/her work?

Here's what I have so far:

PRINT
Circulating Books:
    Jacket flap and interior author blurbs on the author’s books
    Biographies and Autobiographies

Reference Books:
    Something about the Author series
    Junior Author and Illustrator series
    An Author a Month series
    Bookpeople series
   100 Most Popular series

ELECTRONIC
Databases:
    Gale­Contemporary Authors Online
    Ebsco­Student Research Center

Internet Resources:
    Author Web sites
    Publisher Web sites

Thanks! I'll post a hit.

Best,
Toni
