Competency #5: Tagging

Using Librarything, I searched for books and tags related to children's and young adult literature, as well as literature awards for these genres.

I looked at a book entitled Children's Literature Awards and Winners: A Directory of Prizes, Authors, and Illustrators by Dolores Blythe Jones, which produced the following tag cloud:

12/2/06(1) artists(1) authors(1) Awards(1) books about books(1) Boston(1) Caldecott(2) children's books(1) children's literature(1) illustrator(1) ma(1) Massachusetts(1) Newbery(1) Newbery medal(1) professional collection(2) reference

I chose to look at this book because it appears to give a comprehensive listing of literature that represents a variety of awards given to children's books. Furthermore, it would be a good reference book when seeking additional titles of award-winning literature.

By following the link for Newbery medal, a larger tag cloud is created:
