In the last few years we've witnessed a boom in Young Adult literature both in the marketing of books and its readership. YA literature includes many firsts such as: first crush, first kiss, first love, first moral dilemma. The birth of New Adult literature takes it one step further. As the YA readers age out publishers are seeing New Adult as the next, new step. But what does New Adult literature mean for editors, publishing companies and librarians? A few years ago, editors at St. Martin's Press held a contest. The results helped them to coin the term New Adult Fiction. What were they thinking when they came up with the term? And who did they think the readership would be? How did Indie authors impact the market? And where do you place these works of fiction in your collection? In this presentation we will: define New Adult Fiction and explore its history, identify books and publishers, and analyze its fast-paced success. At the end of the session, participants will: understand the significance of New Adult Fiction, identify motivated readers, and consider innovative ways to promote and integrate New Adult Fiction into their collections.

Readers advisory services final
Readers' advisory services aim to match patrons with books they will enjoy reading for pleasure. This library service helps patrons select recreational reading materials. It has evolved from a prescriptive model in the early 20th century focused on "better books" to a more patron-oriented approach that values fiction reading. Readers' advisory librarians now use various print and electronic resources, as well as their own reading knowledge, to suggest titles to patrons based on books they have enjoyed previously. The goal is to foster enjoyment of reading and support for the library.

Readers advisory services_in_public_libraries
Reader's advisory services involve librarians suggesting fiction and nonfiction titles to patrons based on their interests. This helps patrons find books to read for pleasure. While readers' advisory has been around since the 1920s, it reemerged as a focus over the past 20 years. Librarians now take a less didactic approach, seeing recreational reading as worthwhile. Direct readers' advisory focuses on a reader's likes and dislikes, while indirect involves pre-made booklists. Libraries provide various tools, both print and electronic, to help librarians match patrons to titles. Mastering readers' advisory requires being an avid reader oneself and ongoing learning.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
