They conducted a survey to know what their male students wished they would find in their media center. Their students suggested manga as a genre, and they also provided the authors with specific titles to purchase. Armed with these suggestions, the authors decided to head to their nearest Barnes & Noble to purchase the first set of manga and graphic novels. Now, their library's manga and graphic novel collection has grown to more than 1,200 titles. Surveying their student body was powerful and has really driven the authors' library collection development. |
