Reader’s Advisory Work 610:540 – References Sources and Services Fall 2010

Common RA Questions  Can you recommend a good book to read?  What have you read lately that’s good?  I just read Jodi Picoult’s book, My Sister’s Keeper, and loved it. Can you recommend another one like it?

The Reader’s Advisory Interview  Ask the person to tell about a book that he or she has recently read and enjoyed.  The librarian can listen for appeal factors such as whether a person may like plot- or character-driven books, contemporary or historical or fantastic settings, etc.  The librarian can also listen for rejection factors.

Common Mistakes in the RA Encounter  Poor interpersonal communication such as losing eye contact  Inappropriate OPAC use – resorting to an OPAC before talking to the reader and consulting RA reference tools  Query avoidance and lack of follow-up

Appeal factors  Pacing – way reader moves through story  Character – how characters relate to each other and reader  Story line – theme/plot  Frame – setting, tone, atmosphere

Whole library approach to RA  Can use non-fiction as well as fiction in RA  Can use non-print materials as well as print such as audio books  Can develop reading maps Neal Wyatt Oak Park Public Library

Reader’s Advisory Reference Tools  Use reference tools  Provide an answer that is supported by authoritative sources  Do not just rely on personal reading
