Youth Literacy Materials Heading
Youth Literacy Materials Heading SCRAP interested in feedback from PAS about a potential new genre heading, "Youth literacy materials" 'Adult literacy materials' recently available as a local genre heading - used with books, kits, and other materials for English language learners SCRAP is gathering feedback on having separate headings for Youth and Adults/Teens 'Youth literacy materials' would be intended for a broader usage than books that have the subject heading for 'Readers'
Youth Literacy Materials Heading Discussion questions from SCRAP: oDo you feel like Youth literacy materials would include the entire youth collection or specific materials like readers and literacy kits? o Do you feel this would be a useful heading for identifying a specific literacy collection? o If you were to apply it to records, what material types would you use this heading for, i.e. books, audiobooks, kits?
