FYE
from your editors... Welcome to the Media Spectrum Online!
Here it is! The first issue of Media Spectrum Online. It has been a long process to research and select our online publisher, and we think that we have found the perfect fit with Yudu. Be sure to explore all the special features and options that it provides. In the near future it will even be mobile!
This issue of Media Spectrum focuses on reading and it includes manifestos from Adreinne Mat- teson, Anand Jay Kalra, Josh Ohlendorf, Kate Keith-Fitzgerald, and Maria Kramer, who are library students at the University of Michigan, and represent the future of our profession.
Also included are insightful articles connecting literacy to the digital generation that is moving through our schools and out into the world. Buffy Hamilton writes about the Media 21 Project, and the transformation of information literacy for the NowGen students of today. Mary Morrison and Elisabeth Lawrence write about another aspect of technology’s infusion into our world in their ar- ticle on digital storytelling. Finally, Liz Lulis discusses the concept of a digital literary community.

Marsha Lambert begins her new column called Booktalks, Teasers, Hooks and Quirks. And, if you are considering retirement, take a look at this issue’s Second Life article by retired member and past Media Spectrum co-editor, Susan Spaniol. If you have been reading the MAME ListServ, then you know that there is also a new SIG being formed called SIG-RET, headed by Teri Terry and Annette Haley, two giants from the profession who have both retired this year.
Karen Lemmons shares her knowledge of children’s literature-related blogs. Be prepared to spend several hours browsing among them! Karen Becknell collaborates with Terry Wooten on an article about the success of the Elk Rapids Elder Project.
As the school years end, it is time to refresh, rejuvinate, and reload our brains in preparation for the joys and challenges that the upcoming school year will bring. MAME’s Spring Institute and Sum- mer Academy are great professional development opportunities to help out with this, information related to each can be found in this issue.
Have a great summer, and read on! Karen and Sue
