I've always considered reading People magazine as "monitoring popular
culture". If you don't read what your customers are reading or find out
about the current fad you are out of touch with what they are asking for. I
never will forget a children's librarian we had here at one time who did not
know who Chewbacca was or Han Solo for that matter. The kids thought she was
really out of it (and she was). As a bonus, I like reading People and
Entertainment Weekly and Premier Magazine.

Bravo Jean!

The last time I gave a workshop on collection
development the top two review tools I mentioned were
People and Entertainment Weekly. When the National
Enquirer starts reviewing books, I'll read that too!

Besides, what a great excuse to read "mind candy"
magazines under the guise of "It's for work. Really."
