Information and collections: Getting on the email lists that give you more

Many of you are probably already on the email lists sponsored by ALA and YALSA and a host of other library organizations. For those of us (myself included), here are instructions for joining a few of the YALSA email lists. I'll put a link at the bottom of the post that gives all the email lists available from YALSA, as well as some of their sponsored websites full of other information.
