Rethinking Readers’ Advisory: An Interactive Approach  with Rebecca Howard and Laura Raphael

6-week eCourse
Beginning Monday, July 13, 2015

Form-based readers’ advisory moves you beyond traditional methods such as general book lists, open-ended interviews, and counter displays—allowing you to develop RA services that are more efficient and responsive to library users’ needs. In this eCourse, you’ll go in-depth and learn about this exciting RA model, from start (getting administrative and staff buy-in) to finish (building forms and training staff members).

After participating in this eCourse, you will be able to:

• Identify the challenges of traditional RA
• Describe benefits of form-based RA
• Understand how to assess your library’s capacity for this service and garner support from library leadership
• Describe the key elements of an effective RA form
• Understand the terms readers use when describing what kinds of books they enjoy
• And much more!
