Before we begin our November discussion, I want to take the opportunity to thank our guest moderator, Eliza T. Dresang, for all the time and hard work she put into our discussion last month. Over many years, we have known Eliza as an deep thinker, thoughtful critic, and excellent teacher. As you have seen in last month's discussion, her commitment to diversity extends to acknowledging and honoring the various points of view people have on the same topic, even when the conflict rises to uncomfortable levels.
Many of you may be familiar already with Eliza's groundbreaking book,
"Radical Change: Books for Youth in a Digital Age" (Wilson, 1999) which was just named as Voice of Youth Advocate's first-ever professional book of the year. I encourage you to visit the Radical Change website at: http://slis-two.lis.fsu.edu/~inst/index.html
Lastly, I want to thank all of the participants in CCBC-Net who have participated in this discussion, whether you added your own voice, or took the time to read and reflect on what others were saying. This month's discussion hasn't always been easy but I think we'd all agree that we owe it to children to face the hard issues.
