[Publib] Creative Bibliographies?

[Melissa Callahan]

I also put them on the website with links into our catalogs.  They can
print them off at home.  Bookmarks are good, but our patrons still love
the paper "books" we give them.  If you have volunteers print on shapes
and cut them out.

How about bookmarks? If you don't want to list titles that become dated,
try just listing authors. 
Bookmarks could be on subjects -- Christian fiction; Science fiction;
Romance writers; Women's fiction, War stories, Spy stories, Mysteries...
Or you could suggest Dewey areas on a bookmark. "Fixing your car? Try
629.28"  "Learning to knit? Try 746.432"  "Find Great-Grandpa! 929.1"

Many patrons still seem to like those "old" style bibliographies or
lists of selected materials on a topic.  They like to have them in their
hands and walk through the stacks with them.  They like to take them
home and refer to them. But most of the bibliographies I've seen are old
and tired looking.  I hate to create more paper handouts that look like
1970.  Has anyone come up with a way to convey this information to
patrons without using boring pieces of paper?  (Paper is OK, boring is
not OK).
