Gone are the days of only reading critical reviews and publisher synopses to learn about new books. Readers, publishers, and authors alike are utilizing social media platforms to spread the word and build interest in titles, new and old. This webinar will review the basic readers' advisory reference interview and the appeal terms to look out for in social media that will help you pair the right book to the right reader. Examples of book reviews and recommendations across multiple social media sites will be shown, along with tips and tricks to find them within each platform.
