In this webinar Kate Quealy-Gainer will give an overview of what it’s like to review children’s literature for a professional journal, discussing the ins and outs of the process, from working with publishers to final edits. The presentation will also touch on what role the Bulletin believes reviews have in the field, especially in light of the current upswing in book challenges.  

Presenter:

Kate Quealy-Gainer received her master’s degree in Information Science from the University of Illinois with a specialization in Youth Services. After reviewing for the Bulletin while completing her degree, she joined the staff as Assistant Editor in the summer of 2009 and then assumed the role of Editor in August of 2021. She teaches multiple classes on children’s and young adult literature for the iSchool and probably talks too much about kid lit in everyday conversation, perhaps to the chagrin of family and friends. She is a relatively decent herder of cats and children—but only after she’s had her coffee.

CARLI is pleased to offer a 3-week synchronous and asynchronous course on open educational resources. This virtual course includes material that was first shared with the CARLI membership during the Open Textbook Network Train-the-Trainer workshops.

February 13, 20, and 27, 9:00 am – 10:30 am (materials for first session sent to participants beginning on February 6, live sessions via Zoom on February 13, 20, and 27).

Attendees should plan to attend each live session.

CARLI is planning to offer this program multiple times throughout the year.

The virtual program will contain both synchronous (3 live 90 minutes Zoom sessions) and asynchronous (readings, videos, etc.) to be completed before each live session. The live sessions will include some presentations, but the aim of the program planners is that these will incorporate a flipped classroom model to build community among participants as all share and discuss the topics.

Technology used for live sessions: Zoom, ideally participants will be able to use video as well as audio.

The asynchronous portions of the training, shared with participants weekly, should not take longer than one hour of your time prior to each live session.

The train-the-trainer program is designed to help the novice person learning about open educational resources to apply the information from this program to build their own local programs and workshops as they move up the Bloom’s Taxonomy from remember and understand to apply.
