No shortcuts…• Like other formats, selecting comics & graphic novels requires knowledge and passion
• Comics & graphic novels should be selected carefully, with an eye toward users, the library material selection policy, and community standards.
• There are no shortcuts. Core lists, reviews, and recommendations are a great place to start, but a great collection depends on a librarian who truly understands the format.
• Besides, you might just become a fan, if you aren’t one already!
