teen/youth pages and related requests

[Elizabeth J. McKenty a.k.a. Lisle]

Tracey:

Please post responses to your query to the list (or summarize)--this is an area of interest for me. I'm also looking for any information literacy tutorials for grades K-6 (everything I find seems aimed at grades 7-12 or higher), and if anyone has done usability testing of library children's pages. Thanks!
