I LIKE RECREATIONAL SUMMER reading and quickly go through the newest books of my favorite contemporary authors and look for titles with similar themes. Readers' advisory librarians use a plethora of book resources to help readers like me find new authors and interesting titles. The books in the "Genreflecting Advisory Series" published by Libraries Unlimited are key resources, with over 20 volumes that provide a guide to reading in every genre--from historical fiction to Westerns to romances. Other well-established book-finding sites include NoveList and WhichBook.

MORE THAN 1000 LIBRARIANS, publishers, and vendors jammed into the 25th annual Charleston Conference in South Carolina, November 2-5. Created by College of Charleston librarian Katina Strauch, the meeting brings together everyone in serials and acquisitions.
This year several speakers focused on book collections--print-on-paper books housed in bricks and mortar. Add in the discussions on ebooks and you could feel the back-to-book backlash.
