*Facts About Fiction: Basic Readers' Advisory Services for Library Staff*
July 17 9am-4pm (Onsite)
http://www4.uwm.edu/sois/CE/
If you ever answered (or heard) the question "Have any good books to
read?" at the public service desk, you've engaged in some readers'
advisory. Learn exactly what RA is, why library staff do it (and why we
should continue to do it) and how to help readers find reading material
they will enjoy. Learn about popular genres, how to evaluate books
quickly for levels of appeal, and ways to expand your own knowledge of
popular reading. Be prepared for hands-on activities and plenty of
conversation about good books.
