Today and Tomorrow of Reader Advisory Services: a Fresh Technological Approach in Digital Environment in the Public Libraries with special reference to Book Suggestion App
Abstract
This Paper describes the expanded and updated version of past and present philosophy of readers’ advisory service in public libraries. It offers many training ideas for Public librarians interested in learning how to perform the service and we gives guidelines on how to conduct the readers’ advisory interview, which he describes as a conversation about books between a patron and the Public librarian. One goal of the readers’ advisory interview is to demonstrate that the conversation should be viewed to be as important a Public library service as is answering reference questions. I found that one of the most interesting appeal I this paper to the reader is that the basic elements of which are pacing, characterization, story line and setting. The Paper devotes an entire Content in this version on how to articulate those elements, to get the reader to describe what it is about that Paper that makes them want to find a similar one.Author's goal in this paper to introducing the materials, skills and philosophy of readers’ advisory service. This Paper will be a very useful training tool for libraries and librarians interested in learning how to provide readers’ advisory service in their libraries. In Public Libraries, Reference librarians are often called on to make recommendations to readers, sometimes in genres that they don't personally read. Learning how to frame a discussion and articulate the appeal of a Paper, author, or genre marks the essence of a successful readers’ advisor. Since there was sufficient interest within the library for developing the service, the next step will be to create a working group to collaborate on the final development of Book Suggestion App. Where we go with it remains to be seen. But the most empowering aspect of the approach so far has been the way that HTML5 and common web development techniques have opened the door for simple prototyping. As we continue with the full development work, these same capabilities promise to help us quickly and efficiently build out a service across the multiple platforms people are now using every day.
