Dear lis-linkers Usual apologies for cross-posting. Promoting books and reading ? workshop Wednesday 4th April 2001 in Birmingham, 10.30am ? 4 pm This is your chance to have your say on good practice in promoting books and reading across the library, publishing and bookselling sectors. The workshop will provide the opportunity both to hear speakers from all the sectors, and to discuss draft guidance for good practice in collaborative promotional projects, before this is distributed to practitioners in all the sectors. The day is part of the final output of a BNBRF-funded research project being undertaken at the University of Central England in Birmingham (UCE) which has sought evidence of good practice in this area, and the views of practitioners from all the sectors. Speakers will include: David Lindley Books for Students Chris Meade Booktrust Guy Pringle Guisemarketing (Freelance publisher) Jonathan Douglas Library Association Genevieve Clarke National Literacy Trust Linda Bennett Waterstone's It is hoped that as many practitioners as possible from all sectors of the book world will take the opportunity to contribute to this research, in order to make the guidance booklet as effective as possible. The cost of the day will be £25 which will cover workshop materials as well as tea/coffee mid-morning and afternoon and a light buffet lunch (including vegetarian option). Draft guidance will be issued to paid-up delegates in the week preceding the workshop. Please book now to ensure a place, as these will be allocated strictly on a first come, first served basis.
