Today I am presenting my annual RA Year in Review for PCI Webinars. I enjoy putting this together each year because it gives me a chance to look back at the year that just happened from the widest lens possible before forging ahead into another year.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to take the time to think about where you have been before you forge forward, and especially in these trying times of blatant censorship and a pandemic entering its third year, this reflection is even more important.
Besides taking at detailed look at the best sellers vs most library checkouts vs best lists, I also break down the major issues of the year. Of course this year that means I have more than a few slides about censorship.
I realize not all of you have the time to do the research and compile this information. That is why I do it each year and take it so seriously. It is a lot of work for 1 presentation [and honestly,. I lose money on this one], but it is so helpful and to so many, that I always make time for it.
However, since this talk is only given through PCI webinars [once for FL libraries only and once for the rest of the country] and I know not everyone has access to their full slate of webinars, I make the slides extremely useful. You can get a sense of the major issues just from the slides and the links I have provided.
Although, I would suggest you double check with your system or state library because many libraries do have access to PCI webinars, especially the replays, and do not even realize it.
Either way, here are the slides for the 2021 RA Year in Review, or you can click on the screen shot below. And for context here are some past year's slides [I did not do one for 2019]:
