Editor's Notes
- Overview of results available from http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/services/public_libraries/committees/network_research/plnrp_current_projects.html
- Some people forgot that readers advisory is about what the client wants, and not what you want them to read, or the latest book you have enjoyed, and that is it not about recommending but suggesting This showed heavy use of website. It was interested to see any form based readers advisory and patron book ratings in catalogue.
- Yes, ahead in all areas except personal readers advisory assistance -
- This one – confident at left to not confident on right. Highlighting need to work in readers advisory skill for working with children and young people, and skill up the people who are confident to be able to be very confident. This will be addressed in future readers’ advisory meetings
- It is interesting that people were not so worried about their skills keeping current, but then there was a lack of awareness of online tools and resources. This seemed to contradict the top couple of answers.
- Evaluation – little to no tracking. Even when Novelist statistics are available to every public library in the state – and hopefully you will be taking back some of the ideas about Novelist from earlier today.
- This is marketing books in the mix of everything you market you library for – the no responses are interesting, not leveraging the brand which people connect with libraries. Not leveraging a major asset for a library. The question was looking at books in the marketing mix, not as the only item to be marketed.
- Good to see a mix of tools.
