Description: Expand your teen collection beyond traditional print books into exciting alternatives that will get teens into your library and keep them coming back. Top teen librarians share their inspiration and expertise on how to defy limits, and create the kind of collection that appeals to the diverse range of today's teens. You'll find valuable guidelines and tips on how to broaden and enliven your collection with graphic novels, magazines (and zines), audiobooks, video, music, interactive software and games, and more. You'll also discover how to harness the power of the Internet and establish a virtual collection. There is even a chapter presenting options for shelving and display of these alternative media. If you're ready to bring your teen collection into the 21st century, now's the time to act—and this is a great place to start. Grades 6-12.
