Three Children and Technology columns from the 2010 volume year won an Award of Excellence in the category of “Writing: Regular Departments & Columns.” Members of ALSC’s Children and Technology Committee authored the winning articles: “Coloring a New World of Librarianship, Participating in the 21 Tools Program” by Gretchen Caserotti and Kelley Beeson; “Technology and Television for Babies and Toddlers” by Natalie Arthur; and “Consumerism, How it Impacts Play and its Presence in Library Collections” by Jill Bickford. The CAL columns were among 192 winners in the Writing category, which received 643 entries judged primarily on the basis of editorial quality.
“We are delighted with this honor,” said ALSC President Mary Fellows. “We’re terrifically proud of our member authors, our editor, Sharon Verbeten, and our member advisory committee for Children and Libraries. Their excellent work, like that of so many other ALSC members, is helping ALSC create a better future for children through libraries.”
