Developing and Promoting Graphic Novel Collections

3.7/5 ( ratings)

Demographic projections show that the teenage population in the U.S. will reach an all-time high during this decade. Edited by Joel Shoemaker, a former President of the Young Adult Services Association , this groundbreaking series is designed to ensure that public and school librarians have the tools they need to develop and adapt their collections, services, and programs to meet the diverse--and ever-changing--needs of young adults. Yesterday's comic book has evolved into today's graphic novel. Richer storylines and artwork can entice "reluctant readers" into the reading habit. Here is a comprehensive overview of graphic novels and their use as reader development tools. Miller explores the evolution, categories, and genres of graphic novels; he then addresses the nitty-gritty details of collection development, acquisition, cataloging, and maintenance for this unique format. A special section shows how to promote graphic novels . Especially valuable is a carefully crafted annotated list of core titles. This exciting new addition to the teens@thelibrary series is the perfect guide for using one of today's most popular genres to draw teens into the library.
