It is not necessary to belong to AASL in order to come to this program open to everyone who is interested. Tell others. Everyone is welcome.
You won't want to miss hearing and interacting with these four dynamic speakers:
1) Henry Reichman - "Trends in School Library and Classroom Censorship since 1985"
2) Liza Kessler - "Current CIPA, Privacy, and Other Policy Issues"
3) Eliza Dresang - "The Case of Harry Potter: Digital Age Design and Dilemma"
4) Katherine Paterson - "Tale of a Reluctant Dragon"
Renowned historian and California State University - Hayward Professor Henry Reichman will relate the constants and changes he's observed over the past 20 years. He is the author of "Censorship and Selection: Issues and Answers for Schools," now in its third edition.
Attorney Liza Kessler will address current media and technology policy issues affecting schools and libraries based on her experience as Senior Policy Counsel at Leslie Harris & Associates in Washington, DC. She previously served as Lead First Amendment attorney at the Center for Democracy and Technology.
Florida State University Professor Eliza T. Dresang is the author of
"Radical Change: Books for Youth in a Digital Age" and co-author with John S. Simmons of "School Censorship in the 21st Century: A Guide for Teachers and School Library Media Specialists."
Katherine Paterson is the internationally acclaimed author of many books for children and young adults and a two-time winner of the Newbery Award. Her eloquent pro?tive writings and speeches about the rights of readers, librarians, teachers, and authors are related to the experience of having some of her own books become targets of would? censors. Katherine Paterson's books include "A Bridge to Terabithia," "Jacob Have I Loved," "The Great Gilly Hopkins," "Park's Quest," and "Lyddie." Her forthcoming novel "The Same Stuff as Stars" will be published this fall by Clarion.
Wisconsin's own Helen Adams is the 2001 President of the American Association of School Librarians. I am honored to be Helen's collaborator in making plans for this her President's Program during the ALA Annual Conference. University of Wisconsin - Madison Professor Dianne Hopkins was also involved in the planning; she will introduce the first three speakers. The support of the AASL Staff is greatly appreciated, as is that of Katherine Paterson's publishers: Clarion, HarperCollins, and Penguin Putnam.
