A List for Book Discussion

[Linda Waddle <lwaddle@ALA.ORG>]

The Young Adult Library Services Association, a division of the
American Library Association announces the availability of an electronic
list called YALSA-BK.  The purpose of the list is to provide a mechanism
for subscribers to discuss books online.  Subscribers are invited to
discuss specific titles, as well as other issues concerning young adult
reading and young adult literature.

It is also an opportunity for subscribers to learn what has been
nominated for Best Books for Young Adults, Popular Paperbacks for
Young Adults, and Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers, and
to discuss the books that have been nominated.  Cumulative lists of
nominations for each of these annual lists will be posted regularly by
each of the committees.

YALSA-BK will give subscribers the same opportunity as observers
who attend ALA conferences and meetings to voice their opinions about
nominated books.  From time to time, nominations for other YALSA lists
may also be posted.

In order to provide more opportunities for youth participation in YALSA
activities, young adults are especially welcome to subscribe and to
discuss books they are reading, especially those teens who belong to
book discussion groups.

The discussion list will be unmoderated and self-subscribing.
Undeliverable address will be automatically deleted. To subscribe send a
message to listproc@ala.org.  On the message line enter: subscribe <list
name><your first name><your last name>
