I think the training received via the Be More Bookish
course was varied and comprehensive. It was nice to explore a variety of genres
and read and think about the different aspects of Readers Advisory. As someone
who struggles with my confidence when faced with the simple question “Can you
recommend a good book”, this type of training is very useful in helping to
combat the anxiety. The more resources I have and the more RA work I’m exposed
to, the better able I will be able to comfortably and easily handle RA
requests. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about and practicing using “appeal
factors”. This seems to really be at the heart of good RA service. I also
really enjoyed the Prezi link genre page.
Thanks!
