BiblioCommons: Cultivating and Supporting an Online Reading Community: Digital Badges and Online Programming

Jacob K. Javits Center, Room 1E14 (NOTE ROOM CHANGE)

While many of us are lucky to have vibrant reading communities in our libraries and bookstores, we’re probably missing an equally large and vibrant community — the reading community of our online patrons and customers. How can we reach out and celebrate some of our most dedicated readers, who we may never see in person at an event? Stephanie Chase of Library Discovery Service for BiblioCommons and Jenn Northington of WORD Bookstores will discuss two ways to reach out: through digital badges and online programming. Stephanie and Jenn will cover the basics of both services, and offer suggestions on using them.
