Building a Display-Driven Strategy

摘要

Finding great books is getting even harder now as more and more books are published every year. Nearly a million new books flooded the market last year alone-about half of them self-published. LJ's Patron Profiles data shows that libraries can be a great source for book discovery-32 percent of patrons find books to read or borrow from libraries. But there are still many more readers to reach. Readers' advisory and online discovery both continue to play big roles in connecting readers to new titles, authors, and even genres they might not have sought out on their own. In the physical space, there is much more that can be done by reinventing how libraries approach the art of the display.
