"In 1989, to clarify the currency of a given list, YALSA began to refer to the list by the year of its release rather than the year during which the books were chosen. So the section “1988 Selections” includes books published between September 1987 and December 1988, and the section “1990 Selections” includes books published between September 1988 and December 1989" - Best Books For Young Adults by Betty Carter and Holly Koelling, 2007, p.268
