Disability in Kidlit Blog

ALA: ARCs
One of the panel discussions I was on at ALA was All About ARCs: “Librarians may have heard of Advanced Reading Copies (ARCs), but do they actually know how to acquire or use them?

Um, no, not really, but based on the twitter stream for the New Adult Conversation Starter that Sophie Brookover, Kelly Jensen and myself did (Twitter hashtag #ALA13NA), I apparently used that term a lot. As a recap, the three of us did a Conversation Starter on New Adult Fiction at [...]
