We still have a few spaces remaining in our next offering of Readers’ Advisory 101, a RUSA online course taught by RA expert and author Joyce Saricks.
Through practice sessions, participants learn how to use RA tools, craft annotations, read in genres, articulate appeal, and experiment with methods to offer RA services. Readers' Advisory 101 is tailored for support staff, library technicians, newly hired reference librarians, and those librarians who want to brush up on their skills. The topics covered are introductory in nature. Class segments are geared to cover issues of interest to staff in all types of libraries. The practice chat sessions, conducted online, will take place at 3 p.m., Chicago/Central Time on Thursdays, and will last 1-2 hours. Those students who miss a chat may comment on the chat transcript.
Registration will be open through close of business on Monday, Feb. 28.
