“Graphic Novels for Adult Readers: Recommending
the Best”
Date & Time: November
20th, 2013, Start Time: Pacific
- 12 Noon, Mountain - 1 PM, Central - 2 PM, Eastern - 3 PM.
Description:
- Are you wondering how to recommend graphic novels to adult leisure
readers?
- Are you uncomfortable talking with adults who want to discuss graphic
novels because you’re not the “staff expert”?
- Do you know where to find essential graphic novel titles that should
be included in most library collections?
Even though graphic novels continue to become more visible in library
collections, adults often don’t consider reading in this format. Staff
providing reader’s advisory may also feel at a loss when attempting to include
graphic novels as suggestions.
This hour-long webinar will help staff broaden their skills by adding
graphic novels to their recommendations. It will show how to locate satisfying
and often little-known graphic novels that respond to both the subject interest
and personal appeal factors in readers who have little experience with the
format. Ideas for encouraging experienced comics readers to move to graphic
novels will also be discussed.
Collection development staff will learn sources for graphic novels that
are essential to most collections for adult leisure readers.
At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will:
- Know the history and key elements that make up the graphic novel.
- Be able to discuss the literary appeal graphic novels will have for
adult readers.
- Recognize literary genres in graphic novel form.
- Have techniques for recommending graphic novels to adults based on
their other reading interests.
Please note: This webinar is aimed at those who work with adults and
with materials published for the adult reader market. It will be of interest to
readers’ advisors and collection developers at any type of library serving
adults.
