Readers' Advisory: RUSA Books Awards: Listening to the Experts Who Create the Lists for America’s Readers

Abstract

To celebrate the past and present work of the RUSA book award committees, we asked a selection of chairs, vice-chairs, and members to discuss the work that goes into choosing the winning titles and how to use the lists when working with readers. Their thoughtful comments and reflections inform, excite, and invite new ways of using the award lists and expand and enrich advisors’ work. The column concludes with a curated list of titles to share with readers.—Editors
