"Texts and Transformations" -- which would look at the different ways stories can be transformed (linguistically, visually, or physically) to enable or enhance their transmission -- with a focus on books for middle/high school students. This would include graphic novel versions of prose texts, large print editions of YA novels, young readers' editions of adult books, re-imagined re-tellings, adaptations, abridgments, etc.

The 21C Librarian: Changing Form and Clarifying Identity In a world that is increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA), the forms of roles in schools metamorphose to address new needs of learners. How has school changed in response to the changing world? How has the role of the library in the 21C school setting changed? Exploring the questions of: Who are we? Why are we doing this? and Why are we doing this, this way? this interactive presentation takes us through the changing form of the library in the midst of clarifying identity and the implications for education in a changing world. |
