If you go to the Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators home
page (www.scbwi.org), there are pages for individual authors, including
Lois Duncan. My boss frequently looks there for updates, but, alas, I think
it is still an unsolved crime....

Subject: Who Killed My Daughter?
I am going to book talk Lois Duncan's Who Killed My Daughter to high
school freshmen. Does anyone know if Lois Duncan ever found out what
really happened to her daughter, or know of any articles that tell the
end to the story (if there is one)?

Subject: Response: Lois Duncan
To Jennifer Bromann and others who are interested in WHO KILLED MY DAUGHTER?
by Lois Duncan: I believe the family is still searching for the answers to
the mystery surrounding Kaitlyn Arquette's death. Earlier this year I wrote
an updated bio on Lois Duncan for St. James Press and found "The Lois
Duncan
Home Page" (http://www.iag.net/~barq/lois.html) which has a link to the
"Kaitlyn Arquette" web page. Duncan's site gives info about the book
and the
link has details and the latest news about the murder. I believe the family
also has a web page that I'm sure also covers Kait's death. It's called the
Family Arquette which you may be able to search for or try
http://www.iag.net/~barq/index.html. I couldn't get this address to load,
though.
Best of luck with your book talk!

Subject: Children's Librarians are "Real" Librarians
The departments in our library are each having an open house to inform
other staff what exactly we DO in each department. Lately we have heard
comments about children's librarians not doing "real" reference work,
etc. I would like to impress upon people that what we do is as important
as what they do.(Without ripping their heads off, which is my first
inclination. Or my second, which is sending all reference questions to
the adult desk because we don't do "real" reference. Can you tell this
has touched a nerve?!) Anyway, I know we have discussed this before - any
suggestions on how to get our point across? I am putting a slide show
together (on our computer) and I am making a list of what we DO and what
we DON'T do (such as babysitting, daycare, etc.) It's hard enough to
educate the public (yes, you do have to go to SCHOOL to be a librarian,
etc. etc.) but when it's your fellow librarian, it kind of hurts.
I know that those who feel we aren't as important as the adult side will
probably always feel that way but...I would like to try to educate those
willing to learn. (And no, we don't sit around all day cutting out
construction paper for nametags, etc. etc. We do act professionally and
try to provide as high a level of service as the adult side. Although, I
think that what we do looks like FUN and they are jealous. :)
You know, I love this list. When I was a child, I always waited for
letters because I loved getting mail. This is just like having pen pals :)

Jennifer,
For current information about the status of the investigation surrounding
the killing of Lois Duncan's daughter, you can visit the official website at
www.iag.net/~barq/kait.html.
If this URL doesn't work for you, use yahoo.com to search the term "Lois
Duncan." From Lois Duncan's page you can link to the "Kaitlyn Arquette
Web
Page," the one which discusses the case and its status.

youth access to the Internet. How might that impact your professional

Help!
Does anyone out there know how to make a train out of candy?
I've seen them made using a roll of life savers with peppermint
candy wheels and a rollo smokestake (I think). But how does one
make it all stick together? Does a glue stick or elmer's work?
Is this practical to use as a craft with preschoolers? If anyone
has done this or can advise me please reply ASAP - I always seem
to be planning at the last minute!
Thanks!

Subject: Re: replacement audio tapes
I would try contacting the distributor first, especially if they're
a library type store like Regent or Bound To Stay Bound.
If they're no help, try the publisher. Scholastic may sell
replacement tapes, I'm not sure. Audiobooks, Listening Library, and other
unabridged audio companies usually do have a replacement tape you can buy.
Still no dice, do what I do: move the book to the regular fiction
book stacks and reorder the book & cassette set. This is often cheaper
and/or less hassle than trying to buy a replacement tape.
Just take a deep breath and remember that tape is an ephemeral
media. It isn't meant to last forever, and it won't no matter how much you
splice, clean, and sweat over it.

Subject: Re: [parent wants advice/reading]
>some of the spy/thriller authors from the sixties, Hammett and Chandler,
James Michner, Robert Heinlein ... you get the idea.
Great ideas, but I feel forced to make one observation: much of the earlier
Heinleins make wonderful reading for young readers. I mean ones like _Have
space suit, will travel_ and _Farmer in the sky_.
His newer ones like _Number of the beast_ and _Stranger in a strange land_
(to name just a couple) may not be what the parent is expecting.
They are excellent books, but not intended for children in my opinion.
There is quite a lot of sex, some graphic, and some in unusual venues such
as bigamy, polygamy, incest, orgy, and much of the less unusual adultery.
Please encourage the parent to preview, and try to become familiar yourself
with which are which. We have the earlier ones shelved with the juvenile
fiction and the "racier" ones shelved with the adult fiction.
Censorship watchdogs please note that anybody can check out either, but we
feel these locations help people judge the content of the individual titles.

Hi,
The latest I heard, the case is still unsolved. I know she
had a website up for awhile for people to look at
and an email address for people to send information to.
I came across the website by accident, and I think
I did a Yahoo search on the name Lois Duncan.
I wish I had the address for you, but I didn't retain

Subject: YA State Chairs for Lib. Associations
A couple of months ago, I asked for people who are serving as Chairs for a
YA section or roundtable or such to contact me and let me know exactly what
kind of representation you give to your state associations. I heard back
from the following states:
Texas--Young Adult Round Table of the Texas Library Association
Michigan--YA Division of MLA
Ohio--Young Adult Services Division of the Ohio Library Council
North Carolina--Young Adult Committee of the NCLA
Iowa--Children and Young People's Forum of the ILA
Oregon--YA Rountable of the OLA
Montana--Children's/YA Interest Group of the MLA
Massachusetts--Youth Services Section of the MLA
Connecticut--YA Services Section of the CLA
Arizona--Arizona Librarians for Young Adult Services (ALYAS) of AzLA
(that's us!)
This is 10 out of 52. I bet there are many who missed my original post. If
you did, please contact me with this information. Even if you DO NOT have a
YA roundtable/division/section, please, someone, let me know that too. I am
hoping to write an article on how YA interests are represented (or not) at
the state levels. I need to know if your YA group is an official voting
part of your Executive Board as well and the kinds of work you do. I also
need to know if you have a separate YA section from the Children's section
or if the interests of younger children and teens are combined. Please
respond directly to me. And a big thanks to those who have already
responded!

good advice but please be aware that you need to be careful giving Robert
Heinlein books to young readers-he devolved into a seriously misogynistic
writer in his later years and some books are definitely not appropriate. How
about Robin McKinley, Andre Norton, and Jane Austen?
