Graphic novels carry many

of the same benefits that

urban/street literature does.

It also contributes to the

development of both verbal

as well as visual literacy.Visual learners are able to

connect with graphic novels

in a way that they cannot

with text-only books

(Gorman, 2003). Reading

graphic novels requires thedevelopment of a special

type of visual literacy in

which the reader must fuse

the images and the text in

order to fully grasp the

meaning of the story(Gorman, 2003). This type

of literacy will increase in

importance as computers

with graphical interfaces

come to dominate more of

our professional andrecreational lives Gorman

Urban/street literature,

despite its often graphic

depictions of inner-city life,

involving drugs, sexual

exploits, domestic

violence, incarceration,

and death , is valuable in

an urban teen environment

for a number of reasons.

For one, characters and

settings are often more

recognizable to urban

teens. For another it can

promote multiple literacy

benefits for teen readers,

such as enhanced critical

analysis skills, the ability tomake sociocultural

connections between

fiction and reality,

appreciation for the

collaborative writing

process, and thedevelopment of the

The information-seeking

behaviors of homeless people

are not well understood.

Homeless people are

economically impoverished, so

access to the is likelyto be scarce, which, in turn,

might lead to information

poverty. Given this scarcity, how

do homeless people get access

to information?

for a homeless young

person begets trust in a service

provider, which begets the

development of a contingent, caringrelationship with an adult who can

offer expert guidance and

encouragement. The development of

this relationship is hypothesized to

be the key mechanism for guiding

young people out of homelessness.
