Hoping for some input on this.

We're planning on setting up a genre study group here in our library for
staff. Has anyone else done this? Any tips to offer? Pitfalls to avoid?
We're starting from scratch, would very much like this to be successful in
building RA skills across the staff, and have never seen an example of it.
Anything you can offer would be helpful and welcome.

Thanks,
Nancy Clark

Jocelyn,

Thanks for the tip. I hadn't seen this yet. Sounds very useful.
