[LM_NET] Mid & Sec: Announcing Teen Tech Week

[Beth Yoke <byoke@ALA.ORG>]

Please join YALSA in celebrating our first ever Teen Tech Week March 4-10, 2007.  
The purpose of this new initiative is to encourage teens to use libraries’ nonprint 
resources for education and recreation, and to help teens recognize that librarians 
are qualified, trusted professionals in the field of information technology.  
Here’s what you can do to join the celebration:  
1. Register for Teen Tech Week at www.ala.org/teentechweek.  Those of you who 
register will receive incentives from our Promotional Partners Rosen Publishing and 
Tutor.com.
2. Visit the Teen Tech Week wiki at http://teentechweek.wikispaces.com to find and 
share ideas for celebrating the event.  
3. Plan on attending the Teen Tech Week Kick-Off from 10:30 to 12:30 Jan. 21st at 
the ALA Midwinter Meeting.  Meet our partners and sponsors and get ideas from our 
TTW Taskforce on how to celebrate in your library.
4. Keep an eye out on the TTW web site for Teen Tech Week podcasts.

Thank you for working to ensure that the teens in your communities have access to a 
variety of electronic resources and are competent users of information in all 
formats.  YALSA would like to thank E-Vanced Solutions for making the online 
registration possible.
