list

Who creates lists?
Mostly librarians Smaller libraries usually only
have one or two staff members Larger libraries have a pool of
librarians Most libraries have a joint email or
ticketing system Librarians generally choose what lists to
complete

But I don’t read science fiction… Where to find reading recommendations
Other librarians’ lists (we’ll get to that in slides)
Novelist GoodReads Your catalog’s “if you likes” Amazon “Customers who bought this item” Professional reviews/blogs Google Other staff

Reinventing the wheel How to store for similar future requests
Have a dedicated email folder or shared drive accessible by all Store in Bibliocommons or Encore Some libraries are using Bookletters to create and store

I’d do this… Suggestions from other libraries
If you have Bibliocommons or Encore, build your lists there. You can then make it public for other people.
If multiple librarians are compiling forms, have a checklist to ensure consistency
For teen or kid lists, check commonsensemedia.org to check on violence, profanity, sex, etc.

Have a print form too available in branches
Have a limit to how many genres people can check
Have fun with it!
