RA for All Virtual Roadshow Visits Massachusetts Library System for Genre Training

This morning I am returning to Massachusetts Library System for my Demystifying Genre webinar. This one was completely overhauled in April and has been tweaked 4 times since then. It is my second most popular webinar and my third most requested program that I present in person or online.

I am very proud of this one and I put a lot of work on keeping it fresh and accurate, but I also want to remind everyone out there that it is an overview of all the genres. The only complaint I get about this program is it doesn't go deep enough, only touching the surface of each genre. However, that is the point.

This program is mean to get your feet wet in the entire concept of genre and how to use it as a tool to help readers. As a result of me doing this one more often, all over the country, I want to then remind you that I can do a full 60 minute webinar on any genre or groups of genres if you need more than this overview.

Unfortunately for all the library workers and their patrons, but I guess fortunately for me and my business, most people still need the overview. And, because the genres are fluid, as I see very clearly in my need to update these slides frequently, people might always need this overview. And that's just fine. I enjoy giving it. I love the enthusiasm for all genres that it stirs up in me; not just the ones I personally enjoy.

So, if you were at the webinar today, the live slides are here and below. And, if you weren't, well guess what? The live slides are still here and below.

Use them to help you get to know a genre you are less comfortable with right now. It's not as hard as you think once you understand the current state of the genre at this moment in time. That's what each slide does-- orient you and point you in the right direction.

Now stop reading this and click through to learn and have fun. Because don't you want your job to actually be about books and reading and not all the other BS you have to deal with? Well it can be at least for a few moments, thanks to me.
