NCompass Live: What You Should Be ‘Subjecting’ Your Teens To: The Nonfiction Switch

Join us for the next NCompass Live: “What You Should Be ‘Subjecting’ Your Teens To: The Nonfiction Switch”, on Wednesday, July 3, 10:00-11:00 am Central Time.

There has been a lot of debate recently over “weeding” out the Dewey Decimal System in exchange for a more patron- and browsing-friendly Subject Classification System. Can this really work? What are the pros and cons of such a dramatic change? Join us to discover how the Teen Advisory Board of the La Vista Public Library implemented such a change in their teen department. This session will be presented by Lindsey Tomsu, the YA librarian, and Sarah Kreber, a member of the La Vista Public Library Teen Advisory Board, who played a huge part in making this project successful.

Upcoming NCompass Live events:

• July 10 – Learning in the Learning Commons: How UNK Moved Out of the Silos and into a Dance Hall
• July 24 – The Digital Public Library of America: a New Resource for Our Communities
• July 31 – Tech Talk with Michael Sauers
