WELCOME

KidNet provides resources for prospective and practicing youth librarians in both schools and public libraries. The information focuses on the issues, interests, and concerns of youth through the age of 18. In Spring 2002, the site was revised and updated by a Student Design Team from LIS 382L.17, Electronic Resources For Children and Youth, at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science (GSLIS), a part of The University of Texas at Austin.

This site was created originally by Tanya DiMaggio, as part of an independent study. In 1999, Laurie Packard revised and updated it, also as part of an independent study. Since that time, various students and staff have maintained the site, retaining much of the original content. The current version of this site also incorporates the original content into its various pages.

The people we would like to thank are too numerous to list here; however, we specifically want to express our appreciation to Dr. Barbara Immroth for her continued support of this project and library services to youth. Her assistance has been invaluable.
