Abstract
The 2013 YALSA's Teen Tech Week (TTW) Task Force surveyed YALSA members and others who hosted 2013's TTW in an effort to learn about the kinds of programs libraries featured during TTW and to consider how well the initiative is meeting its goals. In this article, the authors present the results of the survey and compare them to the results of the 2008 TTW evaluation survey, when comparable data are available. Libraries hosting TTWs were encouraged to "throw open their physical and virtual doors to teens and showcase the outstanding technology they offer, from services such as online homework help and digital literacy-focused programs to resources like e-books, movies, music, audiobooks, databases, and more." The survey asked respondents why they chose to participate in TTW, the types of activities and programs they hosted during TTW, TTW budget amounts, the numbers of participating teens, which TTW resources from YALSA they found to be the most useful, and more.
