What

This blog has been created by Heidi Henkenhaf for the course, Foundations of Information Technology (LIBR 500) at the University Of British Columbia’s  School of Library, Archival and Information Studies.

Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to explore and evaluate the effectiveness of  Adult Readers’ Advisory blogs created and used by public libraries in Canada and the United States.

Why

I came across the idea for this blog while reading Wyatt, Neal. (2008) “Take The RA Talk Online” in Library Journal. (Volume 133, No. 3) February 15, 2008.
