Week 5: Early Word
Answering the question what is popular at your branch, one comes up with a multitude of answers: Best Sellers, Popular well known authors; Oprah's Picks; Urban Fiction, and non-fiction that has been discussed on TV and/or talk shows. My customers would rather read the book or novelization after the movie comes out in the theatre or TV. When I looked at Early Word I did like all the sidebars, especially the categories of YA GalleryChat and New Books for Children & YA, the reviews in those areas were interesting. I especially like the section Movies & TV based on books (will help in creating displays) plus the New Movie & TV trailers with dates was good. The Best Books spreadsheets gave dates, publishers and Tags (where the books had been reviewed and how long it had been on their top 10 lists.) I could also see these spreadsheets being used as an ordering tool. I will definitely continue to look at Early Word for their mixture of information on materials for all age levels.
