| contents | Reading Maps Remake RA: Re-Create a Book's Entire Universe Online, and Transform Readers' Advisory Wyatt, Neal Maps Reading Comprehension Librarians Books For years, readers' advisory librarians focused primarily on matching readers to books based upon the concept of appeal--traditionally considered pacing, character, story line, and frame (setting, tone, atmosphere, etc.). Books have internal lives of their own that readers want to reexperience, and they have additional elements or references that readers want to explore. Read-alikes do not lend themselves well to experiencing the world of a book or exploring its references, but reading maps do. This article illustrates how to create a reading map which opens up the world of the book for the reader, by diagramming its internal life that allows readers to inhabit the text and its outward connections, and enables readers to follow threads of interest that stem from any particular part of the work. |
