[LM_NET] Last chance to register for Teen Tech Week!

[Stephanie Kuenn <skuenn@ALA.ORG>]

Greetings! 

 

Today is the last day to register for Teen Tech Week, March 2-8, 2008!

 

Teen Tech Week is a national initiative sponsored by the Young Adult
Library Services Association and is aimed at teens, their parents,
educators and other concerned adults. The purpose of the initiative is
to ensure that teens are competent and ethical users of technologies,
especially those that are offered through libraries such as DVDs,
databases, audiobooks, and videogames. Teen Tech Week encourages teens
to use libraries' nonprint resources for education and recreation, and
to recognize that librarians are qualified, trusted professionals in the
field of information technology.

 

YALSA is a nonprofit organization that depends on its members for
support. By registering, you are letting us know that technology and
technology literacy is of importance to you and your teen patrons. By
registering, you are telling YALSA that this program is valuable and
worth continuing.

 

And registration comes with plenty of benefits:

 

*A downloadable JPG of the Tune In @ your library graphic to use in
promoting your Teen Tech Week celebration

*Six weeks' free trial for Teen Tech Week Promotional Partner Rosen
Publishing's Teen Health and Wellness Database

*Free Webinar from Teen Tech Week Promotional Partner Tutor.com on Live
Homework Help, featuring 2006-2007 YALSA President Judy Nelson

*Email notification when a new Tech Guide is posted on the Teen Tech
Week Web site

 

Also be sure to check out the Teen Tech Week Web site at
www.ala.org/teentechweek, where you can get great activity ideas, learn
more about Teen Tech Week products (last day to order for on-time
shipment is Feb. 18), and find out how your teens can enter the
Promotional Song Contest and win prizes. After you're inspired, visit
the YALSA Wiki to share your own ideas and list your Teen Tech Week

http://wikis.ala.org/yalsa/index.php/Tune_In_%40_Your_Library_resources.

 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Thanks
