Meeting Authors -- Does this Impact Collection Development?

Find out by virtually "meeting" with the authors who are attending TLA, today!

If you meet an author, does that change the way you do your collection development work?

At TLA, there are dozens of incredible authors and illustrators in attendance. Perhaps you'll get to meet some of your favorites. Will that experience alter the way you choose books for your library?

Let's find out -- but virtually.

This link (also linked below) contains all of the online materials that TeachingBooks.net has in our library of resources about these attending authors and illustrators. All of the materials are absolutely free for you to use, and you do not need a TeachingBooks.net subscription to enjoy or share them. Just click on author and/or book resources that you would like to see, and voila... Meet the authors now!

From this link, you'll find...

• Videos of some of the attending authors filmed in their studios,
• Audio recordings of them introducing their books,
• Audio files of them pronouncing their names,
• Ready-to-use lesson plans for their books,
• Video book trailers,
• and much more.
  

Will meeting them this way impact your collection development experiences? Feel free to let me know by visiting me at the conference, or by emailing me at nick@TeachingBooks.net

I hope that you enjoy these virtual connections to the authors and books attending TLA this year.
