So YALSA (the division of the American Library Association for services to Young Adults) now requires an e-mail and a login in order to get to the lists of award-winning books, including the Printz?

Why on earth should that not be a public page? Presumably the book awards are something that they want to PROMOTE. To the PUBLIC. They're not just something that librarians are interested in. Okay, well, maybe they are. But it happens frequently that I need to access the Newbery lists very quickly because there's some kid who needs to read a Newbery winner for school, and... if I were YALSA, I would want the Printz to have that kind of prominence! Not hide it behind a login page because they want my email address! (Do I want to get email from YALSA? No, I do not. Not from any particular ill will towards YALSA but I just get enough organizational emails.)
