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.
