Reader's advisory services in libraries involve librarians suggesting fiction and nonfiction titles to patrons based on their interests. This helps patrons find books to read for pleasure. While readers' advisory has been offered since the 1920s, it reemerged as a focus over the past 20 years. Librarians now take a less didactic approach, seeing recreational reading as worthwhile. Direct readers' advisory focuses on a reader's likes and dislikes, while indirect involves pre-made booklists. Libraries provide various tools, both print and electronic, to help librarians perform readers' advisory services and gain skills in this area.

How Libraries Can Launch Community Publishing Initiatives with Self-Published...Smashwords, Inc.
Libraries have long provided an essential community service by making books and other information products freely available and accessible to local community patrons. Libraries play a critical role in promoting literacy, a culture of books and the joys of reading.
With the rise of ebooks, public libraries are at a crossroads. Some large traditional publishers, which fear digital lending might cannibalize retail sales of both print books and ebooks, have been hesitant to supply ebooks to libraries at the very time that library patrons are clamoring for access to such products.
This three-part presentation outlines the opportunity for libraries to expand their community role by developing programs that promote a culture of authorship. By holding seminars and classes, and by bringing local authors together with readers and aspiring authors, Libraries are uniquely qualified to orchestrate community resources and talent to help local writers become professional self-publishers. Unlike traditional publishers, self-published authors are pro-library. By developing community publishing initiatives that promote best-practices for professional self-publishing, libraries will help ensure a steady and diverse supply of high-quality books for library patrons and readers worldwide.
This series of three presentations was delivered by Mark Coker, founder of Smashwords, on March 21, 2013 at the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services symposium held in Lansing, Michigan.The presentations have been combined here for ease of access.
Additional text has been added so viewers will gain contextual background for information that was delivered verbally.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. What is Readers’ Advisory?
Service which involves suggesting
fiction and nonfiction titles to a reader
through direct or indirect means.
Provides patrons with the information
they need to select a book to read for
recreation
A way of matching a patron with the
right book
Usually abbreviated as RA.
3. Not a New Service but a
Rediscovered One
Active readers’ advisory movement in
United States between 1920 and 1940:
More professional librarians
Grew during the Great Depression of
the 1930s
Was influenced by the first attempts at
systematic research related to adult
reading
4. Early Readers’ Advisory
Services were:
Aimed at getting patrons to read
“better” books
Based on formal meetings between
librarians and patrons
Intended to be educational not
recreational
Very prescriptive
5. RA has reemerged during past
20 years
Books on the topic began to appear:
First was *Betty Rosenberg’s
Genreflecting
Then Saricks’ and Brown’s Readers’
Advisory Services in Public Libraries
6. More Evidence
Conferences and workshops
Job advertisements looking for
librarians with RA skills
Courses being offered in LIS schools-
more courses on reading and readers
More and more print resources about
RA
Numerous internet and electronic
resources on the topic
7. Changes in RA
No longer didactic
Reading fiction is
seen as a
worthwhile activity
not as merely an
escape
8. Direct Readers’ Advisory
focuses on reader likes and dislikes with
regard to a number of factors, including,
subject, reading level, genre, writing
style, the level of characterization, plot
elements, storyline, pace, tone, frame,
and setting.
The goal of direct readers advisory is
to suggest titles based on a readers'
individual interests and tastes.
9. Indirect Readers’ Advisory
Indirect readers' advisory involves the
creation of displays, bookmarks,
and annotated book lists that a
reader/patron can pick up and peruse
on their own without actively engaging
a readers' advisor.
12. RA is used to garner library support
It is a “value added” service of the
library—
Librarians are better at advising
readers than most clerks at
bookshops.
Most library use is for fiction. If you
support your fiction readers, they will
support the library.
13. The Washington Center for the Book at the Seattle Public Library
invites everyone to take part in "If All of Seattle Read the Same
Book" – a project designed to broaden and deepen an
appreciation of literature through reading and discussion.
Hundreds of US cities now have a one book,
one community program each year usually
sponsored by the public library
14. The Websites of Libraries
usually contain help for fiction
readers
Bibliographies of works in widely read
genre literature
Mystery

26. Rewards of RA
Librarians who have chosen (or have been assigned) to do
readers' advisory work usually feel blessed—-they end up
loving what they have to do. It is gratifying work, because it
results in giving the library user exactly what he or she wants,
and the user, ultimately feels very positive about the library
experience. But in addition to the wonderful payoff of user
satisfaction, there is also the important factor that real library
skills are demanded—skills that few others besides librarians
have--and those are skills that are enjoyable to develop and to
use
--Ted Balcom
27. Where to learn the skills needed
in RA
First step, be a fiction reader yourself
and in addition
Preconferences / workshops
Courses
Journals and books
On-line discussion groups
Talk with experienced librarians
28. How do you start?
Begin by asking the reader to
describe a book that he or she liked.
Listen to what they say and reflect
back what you hear
Often, just allowing the reader to
describe a favorite book is enough to
start him or her thinking about the
qualities that made it enjoyable
29. The next steps are:
Then you can go to the print or electronic
sources and search for the patron or allow
him or her to do it.
You need to play it by ear—let the patron
be as independent as he or she wishes to
be
Introduce some books that you think the
patron might like and tell the patron why
you think these books are appropriate.
30. To Make RA succeed
You need the support of the library’s
administration
and
You need to have librarians who are
committed and enthusiastic.
31. New developments in RA
Providing RA for non-fiction readers
Allowing patrons to receive RA
through forms filled out in library or on
their own computer
