About the Book

Reference and information services are more important than ever for today’s young people. By analyzing key features of reference and information services to young people in school and public library environments, including the research behind the trends and issues, librarians can make sure that those services are appropriately responsive to children and teens. Based on standards and evidence-based practice, this book helps you to optimize those resources and services by: providing guidance in assessing youth communities, determining youth’s information needs and information behaviors, developing and maintaining age-appropriate reference collections (starting with the book’s core list of print and online resources), optimizing physical and virtual access to reference and information sources, interacting with youth and facilitating their reference and information literacy skills, curating and producing reference and information products, dealing with relevant legal and ethical issues, and planning effective library reference and information services for youth. Chapter sidebar examples provide food for thought.

Table of Contents:
Preface Chapter 1: Overview Chapter 2: Sources of Information Chapter 3: Developing Reference Collections Chapter 4: Life Cycle of Reference Resources Chapter 5: Access Chapter 6: Information Behaviors Chapter 7: Reference Interactions Chapter 8: Curating Reference and Information Products Chapter 9: Legal and Ethical Issues Chapter 10: The Future of Reference for Children and Teens

Review :
Farmer applies research, professional principles, and theory to provide a sound roadmap to effective reference service for young people. Youth-related topics such as developmental theories, information behaviors of youth, cultural competence, and ethics contribute to a useful guide, particularly for librarians serving this population. This practical guide features all the tips and tools needed for reference and instruction work in school libraries. Farmer presents a dynamic, thoughtful discussion of the future of reference services for youth, contextualizing the topic within the mercurial nature of the historical times in which we are living during this Information Age. Pedagogically, youth-serving librarians and LIS faculty who teach in this area will find this text informative and insightful for expanding librarians’ theoretical perspectives and improving professional practices.
