@Elizabethutch @AnniePinto1 @MirandaStreeter @NatEduSummit Yes, but I found there was nothing like a good visual to see that we needed more fiction sport books. But it was also about highlighting this section, often hard to find when spread out, to readers. #LibChatGenrefy

Our last question for the evening is, Q5: I genrefied (or will be/won't be genrefying), so what’s next? This one loops around to our first question. What’s the next buzz word for school libraries. #LibChatGenrefy

@MadisonsLibrary Q5 I plan to start genrefying - now need to work out a strategy (possibly starting with middle grade fiction?) #LibChatGenrefy @MadisonsLibrary @NatEduSummit

@MirandaStreeter @Elizabethutch @AnniePinto1 @NatEduSummit And it makes it easier for us as library staff. Easier to give recommendation and curate the collection. #LibChatGenrefy

@MadisonsLibrary @Elizabethutch @AnniePinto1 @NatEduSummit Absolutely. At times it comes down to what is most efficient - being able to hook readers with easy access to a genre that they like. Removing barriers to finding books that they know they like (before encouraging then to try something different) #LibChatGenrefy

@MirandaStreeter @Elizabethutch @AnniePinto1 @NatEduSummit And then having time with them to encourage all that learning. #LibChatGenrefy

@MadisonsLibrary @Elizabethutch @NatEduSummit This is a whole different conversation :) :) I am trying to teach the kids how to read the call labels and if I had $1 for everytime they were going to shelve a book under F I could go on that round the world trip that's on my bucket list. #LibChatGenrefy

@MadisonsLibrary @Elizabethutch @AnniePinto1 @NatEduSummit Totally agree that students need to learn how to navigate the library - getting classes through the doors can often be the challenge #LibChatGenrefy @MadisonsLibrary @NatEduSummit

@Elizabethutch @AnniePinto1 @NatEduSummit This is a great point. Teaching students to navigate a library system is an important skill to learn, no matter the system. Would you agree? #libchatgenrefy

@MirandaStreeter @NatEduSummit Having duplicate copies is powerful. The power of a good recommendation from friend and how this spreads through a class is fun to watch. #LibChatGenrefy

@MadisonsLibrary A4 Book displays near the entrance (which are often genre-based, hence my interest in exploring this further). Book talks with classes. Buying duplicate copies of books so friends can read together. #LibChatGenrefy @MadisonsLibrary @NatEduSummit

@MadisonsLibrary @NatEduSummit Here are a couple of examples. I created them on Google Slides and we had them up as part of a regular slide show within the library and also on our eLibrary interface. #LibChatGenrefy

@MirandaStreeter @NatEduSummit Mainly just in-library. We had displays, book chats with English classes, Genre quizzes, games and lots more signage. #LibChatGenrefy

@MadisonsLibrary A3: Lots of help to move everything around, label books and create signage. Followed by promoting and 'marketing'. I created some digital slides for my old workplace re the different genres. Will try and locate them to share here. #LibChatGenrefy

I found the way to get students to read is to know the styles they like and genrefy them/suggest these styles to others. Genre stickers in normal fiction collection bad as they still need to search everything to find what they want. #libchatgenrefy @MadisonsLibrary @NatEduSummit

#Libchatgenrefy A3: What are some of the ways you have promoted your genrefied collection? #LibChatGenrefy Here are some pics of things we have tried.

@MadisonsLibrary A1 Seems to be gathering momentum in TL chat. I inherited a lib where is previously wasn’t a consideration, but after discussions with students, I’m inclined to try it #LibChatGenrefy @MadisonsLibrary @NatEduSummit
