Children & Young Adult Author & Illustrator Information Page Welcome to the children's author and illustrator information page. These pages are a series of online pathfinders; a starting point for resources on various children and young adult authors and illustrators. Included on each page is a listing of Ashland University library holdings on the specified author or illustrators, a sampling of articles available in library databases, and internet resources. Ashland University Library has a comprehensive reference collection with various resources for children and young adult author and illustrator research. The Instructional Resource Center has a supplemental reference collection, located on the second floor directly inside the IRC, with items specifically targeted to these genres. Featured here are reference titles available in both the library and IRC reference collections, AU library database resources, and Internet resources.
