Reader’s advisory

Reader's Advisory Presentation - QR Code

Today, Meghan Rae Dornbrock and I presented on Reader’s Advisory in the library. It was a lot of fun and we got a nice response from the class.

Below are the resources – our presentation, notes, and a few documents you may want to check out to further your RA knowledge. We also created a page which you can view here. The QR Code will also take you there.

You can find all of the ‘Further Reading’ resources on the ProQuest Research Library or the Bird Library Website.
