  From Barbara Doyle-Wilch on behalf of Don Wood :

     If you are a young adult librarian, this is for you:  YALSA is collecting survey feedback to help guide future programs and services developed for library workers who serve teens.  If you have teens nearby, please encourage them to take the brief online anonymous surveymonkey survey, available through March 31st, that pertains to their technology needs.  The best way to get there is through the YALSA webpage: http://www.ala.org/ala/yalsa.  Please note that the survey is for teens, not adults.  Check it out!
