- Summary:
-
"In this guide, Jennifer Burek Pierce provides a look at today's teen through the lens of neurological, psychological, and educational research. Putting this research in the context of library services, she challenges librarians to question their assumptions about teen patrons and provides new answers based on research findings. Much as early literacy research informed library services to our youngest patrons, Sex, Brains, and Video Games outlines what others who work with adolescents have learned from their professional activities and how that knowledge can encourage new priorities and partnerships in youth services." "With further reading suggestions rounding out each chapter, this guide offers school, public, and academic librarians further ways of thinking about young adults and the services provided for them."--BOOK JACKET.
