Students in LIS611 present on ALA's Caldecott, Newbery, Printz, and Morris awards at the McConnell Conference and thus must read all of the medal and honor winners for the four awards. The following list will be updated up through the ALA Youth Media Awards press conference on the morning of January 23, 2012. This list is compiled primarily based on Dr. Reynolds' personal reading, starred journal reviews, and mock award lists. Students enrolled in LIS611 (Spring 2012) should read as many of these titles as possible, but there is no guarantee that any of these titles will be on the final course reading list. The Morris Award shortlist has been announced. **Please note that students in LIS611 will be required to obtain copies of the 2012 Newbery (medal and honor), Printz (medal and honor), and Morris (medal only) award winners. To avoid unnecessary purchasing, check with your local library as soon as possible. You may use Kindle, Nook and other eReaders. ~updated December 20, 2011 |
