Young Adult Literature is the fastest growing category of fiction in the
publishing market today. A new field of writing for teenagers became
established in the 1940s, but it wasn't until the ‘90s and beyond that it
truly dominated the market, fueled by the dual powerhouses of Harry Potter
and Twilight.
This six-week course will briefly cover the history, and then analyze how
young adult literature is specifically geared towards meeting the
intellectual, social, and emotional needs of teen readers. Participants
will read and become familiar with a range of young adult authors, works,
and genres, and discuss how to promote them to teens.
The class discusses trends and tropes of YA Literature, and will briefly
address such subjects as collection development, demographics, and
diversity.
Learning objectives:
- To integrate an overview of the history of young adult literature
- To gain experience reading, discussing, understanding, and evaluating
young adult literature
- To identify and discuss trends in teen fiction
- To grasp collection development as it relates to demographics and
diversity
- To identify the essential nature of reading as a teen occupation
Melissa Elliott is an adjunct professor in the Graduate School of Education
and Information Studies (GSE&IS) at UCLA, from which she received her MLIS
degree. She worked as a supervising young adult librarian for the City of
Burbank (CA) for more than 10 years, which included collection development
and program planning for the Central Library and two branches. Elliott was
the recipient of the Dorothy C. McKenzie Award from the Children's
Literature Council of Southern California in 2012, for advocacy efforts for
teens, including co-founding a volunteer program to bring books and
book-talking groups to incarcerated teens at Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Hall
in Sylmar, California. She teaches Young Adult Literature and Readers'
Advisory classes at UCLA in the MLIS program. She also teaches readers'
advisory and book-talking seminars and workshops for libraries through her
consulting business, The Book Adept [https://bookadept.com], and writes an
accompanying blog of book reviews and occasional readers' advisory tips.
This is an online class that is taught asynchronously, meaning that
participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The
class does not meet together at any particular times, although the
instructor may set up optional sychronous chat sessions. Instruction
includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class participation
is in an online forum environment.
