[Baynet] Bay Area readers advisory workshops with Duncan Smith (4/30 and 5/1)

[Hersh, Daniel]

Registration has now opened for:

"We Recommend" (or "Help! I Need a Good Book!") 
A readers advisory workshop with Duncan Smith 
$20 registration fee 

Sponsored by the Adult Services Committee of the Silicon Valley Library
System (April 30) and the Library Staff Development Committee of the Greater
Bay Area (May 1)

Not sure what to say when a patron asks you for "something good to read"?
This workshop will point you in the right direction. Duncan Smith is a
nationally recognized trainer in readers advisory services and the author of
many articles on readers advisory work. He will use videotapes of readers
talking about books they have enjoyed and simulations of readers' advisory
transactions to demonstrate a reader-centered approach to fiction and
non-fiction. Duncan is the creator and product manager of EBSCO Publishing's
electronic reader's advisory resource, NoveList.

There will be three sessions of this workshop, in two locations. For more
