A wave is a hosted conversation that any invited person can contribute to, and it is set to improve digital communicating among professionals. What's all the fuss about Google Wave? Part email, part wiki, part discussion board, part live chat, this is a new form of communicating and sharing ideas over the internet. Speaker: Robert Keith (Technologist, New Jersey Sate Library) Moderator: Allison Santos (Statewide Summer Reading Co-chair/Princeton Public Library) Water, water everywhere! The Summer Reading Committee is sure you will be inspired by this program by this award winning illustrator's interpretationn n of our theme. Summer Reading Committee Presents David Wiesner, Illustrator A noted columnist and reviewer, Joyce Saricks is the author of Readers' Advisory Service in the Public Library, The Readers' Advisory Guide to Genre Fiction and Booklist's 'At Leisure' Readers' Advisory column.

You will also learn how to keep current while still doing everything else, how to promote readers' advisory services and how to hire staff to provide readers advisory. Joyce will teach you how to think and talk about books, how to read and remember books, and important considerations for collection development from an RA point of view. Helping a reader find their next great book can be quite a challenge. Speaker: Joyce Saricks (Retired Librarian) Readers' Advisory: What We Didn't Learn in Library School
