- Abstract
- With technological advancements and different approaches to marketing books, such as on social networking websites and book trailers on television, there are now more sources for adult library patrons to use for the purpose of finding leisure reading materials. How people search for information and what sources they use to do so can be a way to tailor services to a particular population. Readers' advisory in public libraries plays a role in how readers may come into contact with books. This study examines the different sources and methods being used currently by surveying adult public library patrons at a Wake County Public Library in North Carolina featuring active and passive readers' advisory services.
