| A Few Good Books by Stephanie Maatta |
|
One of our staff, Dr. Stephanie Maatta has recently published a reader advisory resource book, A Few Good Books: Using Contemporary Readers’ Advisory Strategies to Connect Readers with Books.
A Few Good Books provides a comprehensive resource for readers’ advisory services in the public library. The book conceptualizes “reading” in a broad sense to “to include an encounter with a work in any format—codex book, screen, audiobook—and to include a range of forms of engagement from skimming to deep reading.” It pays special attention to the ways in which emerging technologies have changed almost every aspect of reading and of providing readers’ advisory services to adult readers.
