“Ebook Merchandising”
Date & Time: February 5th,
2014. Start Time: Pacific - 12 Noon, Mountain - 1
PM, Central - 2 PM, Eastern - 3 PM.
Description:
- Are you launching a new ebook service and looking for
ways to get started on the right foot?
- Do you want your existing ebook collection to have the
same vibrancy and staff support as your print collection?
- Frustrated by the different levels of ebook usage and
knowledge among your Library users?
- Looking for ways to recommend ebook titles to users who
aren’t in the Library building?
Ebooks are increasingly in demand, and
libraries may experience a gap between their users needs and their ebook
services. A combination of marketing, tech support, and readers’ advisory can
fill this gap.
Though ebooks can present a new set of
challenges for libraries, many ebook services can be merchandised using tools
that library staff are already familiar with, making it easier for libraries to
provide the human element so crucial to recommending books.
This webinar will help you develop a more
comprehensive plan for ebook merchandising in your library and online, allowing
you to better serve your current ebook readers, as well as reach out to a new
group of users.
At the end of this one-hour webinar,
participants will:
- Be able to understand the three facets of
ebook merchandising: merchandising the service, merchandising the support, and
merchandising the titles.
- Be able to identify at least one strategy
for improving ebook merchandising for each facet in their library.
- Know strategies for introducing
technology to new e-reading public.
- Know the differences in marketing
requirements and capabilities from different ebook providers.
This webinar will be of interest to public
library frontline staff, collection development and readers’ advisory
administrators.

“Street
Lit and Libraries”
Date & Time: February 12th, 2014. Start Time: Pacific - 12 Noon, Mountain - 1 PM,
Central - 2 PM, Eastern - 3 PM.
Description: For the last
15 years, public and high school libraries have been exploring the
under-reviewed and small press produced genre of street lit. It is most often
passed hand to hand or through publishing parties held by the authors, and
often appeals to readers with interests outside the majority culture. With
increasing amounts of professional discussions now available on the strengths
and challenges street lit collections can offer your library’s users, it’s time
to look at the appeal that holds for readers.
Street lit is not without its
controversies. Learning why and how some libraries have decided to include it
in their collections will help your library decide whether it’s feasible and
appropriate for your community. Knowing how your community may react to its
inclusion in your library will increase your value as the community’s readers’
advisor and/or fiction collection developer.
At the end of this one-hour webinar,
participants will:
- Be able to identify the current hallmarks
of street lit as a genre.
- Recognize the dynamic nature of reader
context as individuals make reading choices, and the role mainstream publishing
plays in reading options.
- Be familiar with street lit’s potential
controversies that may arise locally and know how to discuss them with readers
and potential readers.
- Be able to locate critical and collection
resources pertaining to the inclusion of street lit in the library’s
collection.
- Be able to connect street lit titles in
the collection to works in other genres and formats.
This webinar will be of interest to
collection development and readers' advisory staff in public and high school
libraries.
