Readers advisory
The document discusses the future of reader's advisory services in libraries. It describes reader's advisory as helping patrons find books that match their interests. Traditionally, this was done through in-person conversations between librarians and patrons, but the document proposes expanding online reader's advisory services through tools like subject guides, new book lists, and a form-based system. This would allow patrons to get book recommendations 24/7 while still providing meaningful engagement with library staff.
