  2. #fridayreads The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan (print); Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief (audio)
  3. @librariane13 Michael Vey ? Peter and the Starcatchers?
  4. #tnla12 website for Joan Frye WIlliams: georgeandjoan.com
  5. #tnla12 There is a gap btw what people know and what we offer. Now we make them cross the space, figure us out. Libn's need to cross space.
  6. @jeffielibrarian It's a new Love Language!
  7. #tnla12 A link to "EBSCOhost" should be "Find articles for your term paper"
  8. #tnla12 Information is a means to an end. People care about getting a job, not finding resume books. Link to the situation of the person.
  9. #tnla12 Priority = Transformation (not information). What we do, done right, changes people.
  10. #tnla12 ask people questions, then you can offer services that help with what they care about
  11. #tnla12 Participate in non-library e-groups in your community.
  12. #tnla12 Get out of the library and build relationships in your community
  13. #tnla12 Priority = relationships. It's more important to get the people back to the library than the books back.
  14. #tnla12 Make signage describe what THEY do, not what we do. "Pay Here" instead of "Circulation Desk"
  15. #tnla12 Neutral question that gets the most response: "What can we do for you?" Doesn't make people admit they need help/are failing
  16. #tnla12 Our libraries make people feel stupid. Who wants to use something that makes you feel stupid?
  17. #tnla12 Use mainstream tools that non-library degree holders can use
  18. #tnla12 Another priority = Convenience. Lots of people know about higher quality, but make decisions based on convenience
  19. #tnla12 Joan Frye Williams: Priority #1 = Hospitality
