Blog Interaction with Robyn Young - Thurs. Oct. 26 to Sat. Oct. 28, 2006


Robyn Young, director of school media at Avon High School, blogged with last year's class November 14-16, 2005.

Learn more about her at http://eduscapes.com/sms/young.html. Robyn's research project on graphic novels was funded by the American Library Association (http://www.slis.iupui.edu/graphicnovels.htm). Robyn also would be an excellent person to e-talk about library media center newsletters, annual reports, and program assessment.

Feel free to expand discussion about any topic for school library media.

    Robyn,
    I am a librarian at a middle school with approximately 500 students. My patrons love graphic novels, but I'm not secure in my ability to purchase appropriate titles. Is there a resource that reviews mainly graphic novels for my population? Thank you.

    Does your high school have a media retrieval system? If so, what do you use?

    I am currently working on a project for another class and it involves making suggestions about a media retrieval system to a high school similar in size to your own.

    Any insight that you can give would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Hi Robyn,

    I think that if students are interested in reading something we should provide it. I am interested in the rapid interest of graphic novels among students, and was wondering if you found a certain population at the high school to be more drawn to this type of reading material? I'm wondering about gender, ESL, non or reluctant readers, academically challenged, etc. What has been your experience?

    Robyn,

    I read about the study you did on graphic novels in your school. I am wondering what the response is to graphic novels from teachers at your school, and your opinion of them. There are so many different opinions of graphic novels out there!

    Hi Robyn,

    I am interested in the student advisory group you mentioned. That sounds like a wonderful resource. I just wondered if you could share more information about this group. How are they chosen, or do they volunteer? When do they meet, and how often? What are their responsibilities? Do you have any advice for starting an advisory group such as this?

    Thanks!
