Teach Someone To Do Something

 


I decided to record a search on young adult horror novels. I always have at least one student from a class that visits the library that wants to know where the "scary" books are. While we do have a decent selection, I figured this would be a good video for students to locate books that might be in their public libraries or ones that they can end up getting themselves. This is also a good search for fellow librarians that would like to add this specific genre into their own libraries. 

There are a lot of sites to choose from, but I decided to choose from two more official websites with book recommendations and from one that all different types of people can use to recommend reads. I found that it might be a little difficult to look for incredibly specific types of young adult horror, such as haunted houses or types of monsters. Websites like Goodreads, one of the ones that I showed, would be good to use for that.

Websites like the other two might be more geared for educators and librarians that are looking for books to add to their collections, though young teens can use these websites as well.

  1. The video was very helpful and easy to follow! This would be a great resource for you to post on your library website for your students to access to better understand how to search for desired books. It also showcases book recommendation resources that are available for students. Thanks for sharing!

  2. Great idea and tutorial! I like how you explained your thought process and reasoning for choosing the websites you did. This would definitely be a great resource to post on your school's library website!
