Ideas for meeting & blog topics

Hi group,

Nice seeing everyone last week.

For those that could not make the meeting (or those who attended buy can't remember what we talked about), we worked as small groups to come up with ideas that we could discuss in future meetings or that could be used as blog topics.

I've finally compiled the list of topics that were brainstormed during the meeting - you'll see them listed below. Some of them seem to lend themselves to the blog, others would make good meeting presentations.

If you had any ideas that hit you after we met, here's a great opportunity to add them or clarify anything on any of the items listed. For those that didn't make the meeting, we'd love to hear any ideas you might have as to what would be good discussion points for future meetings and blogs.

Here's the list:

Audio Books & readers
Sci-fi books, authors & resources (3 groups recommended this one)
Understanding Movie & Music Genres – recommendations for genres
Using the BiblioTravel website – have staff recommend at “travel title” book or movie
Author information – bios, interesting facts
Top recommendations for all genres
Improving interviewing skills
Tips & tricks for remembering what you’ve read & watched
Readers Advisory websites – trends in publishing
Non-fiction that reads like fiction
Tips of finding titles with little information (movies, music groups)

Plugs for RAVALA events in the area
Questions regarding downloading audio books
Quick links to genre info for teens

Any comments/additions/corrections?

Keep on readin', viewin', listenin' & advisin'
