Non-Fiction Reader's Advisory: Separating Fact from Fiction Webcast
This is a pre-recorded webcast. With our online anytime format, you will immediately receive the link to the webcast, password and the link to the webcast handout upon successful registration. You do not need any special software to view and listen, just a computer! Since passwords are changed frequently, we suggest viewing the webcast as soon as possible after registering.
Description:
Often, readers don’t even know if they are asking for fiction or nonfiction – sometimes they just want a good book. Narrative nonfiction can be hard to recommend based on subject headings, so how do you know what makes something a good read? This session shares some proven readers’ advisory techniques and will leave you with a list of good starting points for leading your reader to their next favorite nonfiction book.
