Dear Colleagues: The Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee produces a compilation of its reviews each year and makes it available on CD. We are currently evaluating new ways of disseminating this information, and would appreciate your input:
If you acquired a "Quest for the Best" Sydney Taylor Book Award CD-ROM at a convention or by ordering it from AJL, did you ever put the CD into your computer and take a look at the documents stored on it? If so, how was reading the reviews helpful? Did it assist you with collection development? With preparing for booktalks or other programming? In some other way? Is the format of the review compilation useful to you (ie. being on CD-ROM, being arranged alphabetically by title, etc.)? What elements of the compilation are useful to you? __ introductory material (history of Sydney Taylor and the award, criteria for recognition, lists of past winners) __ scores given by committee members to each title __ positive reviews __ negative reviews I am anxious to receive your feedback at [email protected]. Thank you for your input.
