Hi all,

I was wondering if you all had advice for people who are new to RA
library work. What one thing do you wish you knew then that you know
now? What do you wish your new RA staff knew when they started
working with you?

Remembering how overwhelming the "can you recommend a good book?" encounter was in the beginning, and how impossible it seemed to read enough, what I wish someone had said to me was to worry less about knowing the right answer. Not that the right answer isn't as important in RA as it is in reference work. But thinking more about technique--getting your reader's-advisees to talk about what what appeals to them in their reading--really does lead to good answers more often than the panic-stricken new reader's advisor might imagine. And (speaking both as advisor and advisee) it's very enjoyable for all concerned. Of course, there's terrific literature on this very subject nowadays. Hoping I don't sound too old and gray...

Self Promotion Alert!

I have a new article coming out in the next issue of Reference and User
Services Quarterly, which is a lit review of all research on readers'
advisory (and more!) One of the reasons I wrote it is for students just
like Holly who want to know where to start. I was in that position not
that long ago and I had no idea what to read or where to find it, so I
wrote a lit review.

Here's the full citation:

Moyer, Jessica E. "Adult Fiction Reading: A Literature Review of
Readers' Advisory Services, Adult Fiction Librarianship and Fiction
Readers." Reference and User Services Quarterly, vol. 44, no 3 (Spring
2005): 38-47

Until March rolls around and the article comes out here are my top two
books to read:

Readers' advisory services in the public library - Joyce Saricks and
Nancy Brown - its the best and a new edition will be out soon

Any of the collections edited by Ken Shearer, especially the 2001,
Readers' Advisors' Companion. It includes an excellent chapter by
Catherine Ross that sums up her years of research on fiction readers.

To remember that the important thing is that you really understand how important reading is -- this translates into everything from appreciating why patrons really want their reserves to come in, to why it matters whether you read a series in order, respecting the genre you don't personally care for, or can understand the lament that "no one writes like Mary Higgins Clark". That bond with the reader starts the conversation.

I hope that no one is having to do RA that doesn't love to read.

Also, take credit for what you have read, not feel bad about what you haven't. No one can read everything (though you can try!), so exploit your love for mysteries or SF or whatever, and discover the sources that will support you elsewhere. These could be co-workers, reference books, workshops, mailing lists, whatever.

Finally, recognize that you will learn on the job at a breakneck pace, just because patrons will be asking every day about books and authors.

<What...do you wish you knew then that you know now?>

1. What RA reference sources are available (e.g., books, in-house
generated lists, Internet sites, and listservs) and **how to use them**.

2. How to conduct an RA interview.

And one last suggestion: Read Joyce Sarick and Nancy Brown's _Readers'
Advisory Service in the Public Library_ (2nd ed.). It rocks!!

Great intro to the issue and resources...and something that is sure to
inspire some excellent questions to seasoned vets in RA.

I've been doing RA in bookstores and libraries for a while, and I've picked
up a few thoughts on the subject that might help. :-) I'm sure many of these
will be mentioned by others on the list.

1. Read in genres that you might not normally explore.

2. Don't be afraid to ask the patron questions. They might not always have
answers, but they'll know you are interested in helping them.

3. Be friendly, open and enthusiastic.

4. Don't underestimate the patron's willingness to explore a genre with
similar themes, even if on first thought, they don't seem to have much in
common.

5. Ask the patron to let you know if they liked, or disliked, your
recommendations. Feedback is a
a measure of how well you are doing your job, and will help you advise the
patron in the future.

6. Keep lists for your colleagues. They will be grateful!

Yes, reading a lot does help. But the biggest obstacle I see when library
staff say that they aren't "good" at Readers' Advisory is that they think
they don't read "enough". In my case, when I started working in RA, my
obstacle was that I read too much. I tended to take the patron's question
"Have you read any good books lately?" at face value and try to answer that.
What I tell people is this: read about RA (the titles others have
recommended are wonderful), get used to using the tools of the trade, and
remember to answer the right questions.

Someone posted something about remembering to answer the right questions.
My piece of advice would be to remember to ASK the right questions. You
can't help someone if you don't know what they want, and sometimes they have
to be coaxed into telling you. Oh, and if you're the kind of librarian who
doesn't want to know anything about your patrons, or have them know anything
about you, then probably RA isn't for you. I think being a "people person"
may be even more important than being well read.

Just my two cents...for what it's worth.

I have been a librarian for a long time but am new to Reader's Advisory.
This is what I am finding helpful:

Take a class. I took an on-line class in Reader's Advisory which was a
helpful.

Look at and use the tools used in RA (which you learn about in class). I
especially liked Joyce Saricks "Reader's guide to genre fiction" Don't
forget to use on-line sources such as NoveList also.

Read--especially from genres (Saricks book is helpful for this) and from
the bestseller lists, but any reading you do can come in handy.

The librarian who preceeded me in my job, "wasn't a reader" either, per her
own words. And,
yes, I find/found that very surprising. Although, school libraries (union
workers) are filled with
unskilled, librarians whom it wouldn't surprise me if they were not readers.

I am a reader and do some RA at my library, as well as doing some selection.
Our staff does an annual booklet of staff recommendations that often comes
in handy. I would also suggest reading a few review sources a month to get
a general idea of what's out there or upcoming. That way if someone asks
about John Grisham's newest title or "that new mystery about the
archeologist", you will have some idea of what they are talking about.
Often a list of Movie-ties for the new year is published, which is also
helpful. To be honest I prefer Publisher's Weekly to Library Journal or
Booklist in this regard. I have no interest in the latest managerial snit
and I enjoy the "Behind The Bestsellers" and Pre-Pub Alerts features. We
also keep a copy of the current On-Order list, both by Title and by author,
at oor Fiction desk. Finally, we can access the Internet at the Fiction
desk, thus allowing us to consult Ingram, Amazon, and Novelist.

I would point out to them that the biggest myth in RA services is that
you have to have personally read what you suggest. I would then show
them how to use NoveList and however many RA reference tools you've
got, followed by the genre magazines like RT Book Club, Locus and
Deadly Pleasures so they can get an idea of what's out there. I've also
just updated my list of RA Resources for my class if anyone wants it as

I would point out to them that the biggest myth in RA services is that
you have to have personally read what you suggest. I would then show
them how to use NoveList and however many RA reference tools you've
got, followed by the genre magazines like RT Book Club, Locus and
Deadly Pleasures so they can get an idea of what's out there. I've also
just updated my list of RA Resources for my class if anyone wants it as

As you might guess from some of the recommendations I've thrown out here
over the years, my advice would be: Don't think you have to stick to
suggesting nothing but The Latest Best-Seller! There are millions of fine
*old* books out there that even the most up-to-date patron will enjoy if
they dovetail with his other reading interests.

I agree that a non-reading librarian seems to be somethig of a contradiction
in terms. But in fairness, a librarian job is usually (town/city)
government, so people figure it's secure. Which may account for the
phenomenon. Also it isn't likely to involve business travel or a lot of
"office politicking," brown-nosing, etc., which many people find repulsive.

It would be helpful if everyone who wants a list or other tool from someone
else on the list would please send your request directly to the person who
made the offer. This is an extremely busy list, and it is very annoying to
have take the time to delete 15 or more notes that do not contribute to the
discussion.

Please note that this is also one of the guidelines (#9): "Send requests
such as, "Please fax me...", "Please email me..." directly to the person you
want to ask for such a favor." You'll find the guidelines here:
http://www.webrary.org/rs/flposting.html

Every e-mail we get from Fiction-L contains the e-mail address of the sender
in the header. If you do not know how to display this info, you should
contact your IT person for help. (And if you don't have an IT person, grab
the nearest teenager.)

Accidentally deleted my copy of the document.

Could it be sent again?

Thanks! : )

To all of you to whom I have sent it, please let me know if I have
inadvertently omitted anything important, or if you find any mistakes
or missing info.

Also, please remember to put RA Tools out where the browsing reader
public can find them, not just leave them interfiled in reference.

Thank you, I received the packet with no notable
