The second of two presentations given during BISG's webcast "Product Development for Common Core Standards," co-hosted by Patricia Payton (Senior Manager of Publisher Relations and Content Development for Bowker), featuring Ashley Andersen Zantop (Group Publisher and General Manager at Capstone) and Emma Williams (Collection Development Manager at Booksource). The implementation of Common Core State Standards is changing how teachers and librarians select classroom material, with significant consequences for publishers' product development and marketing programs. The series of three webcasts will help you understand educator needs, provide guidance for developing and marketing content that teachers and librarians will look for, and optimize its discoverability by showing you how to include details of a title's conformance with common core state standards in its metadata. Emma Williams is the Collection Development Manager at Booksource. She helped develop Booksource's Common Core State Standards book collections and is well-versed in the Language Arts Reading Standards. In addition to her buying and collection duties, Emma edits Booksource's blog, "Booksource Banter," and is part of the social media strategy team. Emma has a B.A. in English from Truman State University and has worked in the book industry for the past eight years.
