I have an entire list of RA tools I keep updated for the class I teach and
workshops I do. If anyone is interested in getting it as an attachment,
please email me privately. I think the moderators would die if I sent it to
the list.

Also, please remember that there is a Readers Advisiory preconference
organized for the PLA conference in March in Phoenix, and a track on RA
throughout the conference.

Hope this helps,

Mary K.

To ponder:
"In a free country,"  E. B. White wrote in January 1939, "it is the duty of
writers to pay no attention to duty. Only under a dictatorship is literature
expected to exhibit an harmonious design or an inspirational tone."
