Dr. Anthony Bernier publishes first study on young adult volunteerism

Dr. Anthony Bernier has just published the first library study on young adult volunteerism. It is available to members of the Library Leadership & Management Association (LLAMA) and may be accessible to American Library Association members. Bernier writes:

The findings illustrate a degree of public value that may frequently be underappreciated by libraries, supervisors, and administrators. They suggest that library staff may benefit from better volunteer administration skills and planning. But they may also reveal a potential for libraries to more powerfully connect young people with their libraries and communities.

Bernier, A. (2009, Summer). Young adult volunteering in public libraries: Managerial implications. Library Leadership and Management Association, 23(3), 113-139. Retrieved June 2, 2009, from www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/llama/llamapublications/llandm/llmhome/llmonline.cfm .

Bernier is an assistant professor in SJSU SLIS and teaches a variety of courses. His "primary research explores public space equity for young adults and the administration of library services with them." (Research Profile: Dr. Anthony Bernier)

Ellyssa Kroski publishes article "6 Steps to Publishing a Scholarly Online Journal."

Ellyssa Kroski asks in the CyberSkeptic's Guide to Internet Research article:

Do you secretly harbor a dream of becoming Editor-in-Chief of your own publication?  Are you organizing a conference and looking for an easy way to publish all of those contributed papers?  Would you like to walk your students through the peer-reviewed publishing process?  Why not start your own online journal?

Kroski, E. (2009, May). 6 Steps to Publishing a Scholarly Online Journal (for free!). The CyberSkeptic's Guide to Internet Research , 14(5), 6.
