<p class="MsoNormal">Original question:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How do you let non-computer savvy folks who like to just drop in and browse
<u>know</u> about brand new titles that have come out? Most of the time the best sellers get whisked away to fill a long hold list and they never get a chance to see it.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have an odd system now where we keep the book on display for a week before we fill holds – but it seems like a shame to make folks wait. All I can think to do is make a color copy of each book cover and put it on display in place of
the book – but this seems like it would take a lot of ink.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does someone at your library make a flyer each week showing a list of the new books with smaller cover art?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any other ideas? <o:p></o:p></p>

the list and then put holds on what catches their interest.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I worked at a public library, we would make text only copies of best seller lists (fiction/nonfiction) to give out when asked. With some popular romance titles/series, we would have about 5 patrons that would get put on automatic hold
for some series because of a request. If someone knows they are a Patterson fan and you are willing to do that, they could get first dibs hold for those types of items? I do not think we did that with our more popular fiction authors. I know it can be frustrating
to be 147th patron waiting on a book. There was never a book display in a way that was holding new books before allowing them to checkout. Hope that is helpful. We do not have this issue here as students seem to have little time for leisure reading.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">I think one of the greatest things we ever did at Herrick was create an express collection or marketplace/bestseller collection where we buy multiples of hot titles and exclude them
from holds. Obviously that requires and investment, but the idea is that you can always walk in and find an abundant selection of bestsellers. We started with money from the Friends of the Library. We turn over the books to them when they're not super hot
anymore and they resell them in their shop. So we minimally process them to keep them nice. We have express for fiction and feature movies. Works really well. Kelli<o:p></o:p></span></p>

updates the link on our website so people can view the weekly posting from there. We are also sent an email on Saturday from the Wowbrary! providers that gives us a link to put up a Facebook post with all the cover art already preformatted. Here is a link

<p class="MsoNormal">We post the current NYT Best Seller list with our "Hot Title" collection. This collection goes out for two weeks is not holdable and is $1/day if late. There's generally at least one regular copy for holds for each "Hot" title. We have
10 copies of the new Danielle Steel on order, 7 regular for holds and 3 "Hots" for grab and go.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A catalog record is created when items are ordered so reserves may be placed before the item is available.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are on any standing order lists you could make a poster or calendar with the author title and release date. I think Baker & Taylor won't accept orders earlier than 60 days before stated release but I don't deal directly with ordering
so that may be off. Unless you're prepared to maintain spreadsheets you would probably not want to take holds more than that anyway.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We print out copies of the New York Times bestsellers list for Hardcover Fiction, Hardcover Nonfiction, and How-to, Advice, & Miscellaneous each week. We put one list on one of the shelves in the New Book area
in our circulation lobby and one at the reference desk on the counter top. We also do the same with Young Adult Hardcover Fiction and put one at the reference desk and one in the Teen area. In the Teen area, I also post pictures of book covers on a bulletin
board as new Teen books come in. I don’t get as a high a volume of new Teen books as the adult department does, so this isn’t too onerous a task. I imagine it would probably be more difficult trying to keep up with the new “hot” books and bestsellers for
the Adult Dept. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Our circulation system (Apollo) does a scroll across the top of the online catalog, with cover art of the titles recently added to the system. You also have the option of looking at a list
of "What's new" with drop down menus for the GMD, and the options of 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>Hi Melissa!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We copy the Publisher's Weekly bestsellers page and put it on display in various areas around the library. There is no cover art that I know of, just the lists of titles.<span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We put small colored cover art for the titles expected soon based on our standing order plan/recent orders. See the attached – you can have multiple copies of the base poster or a larger base poster depending
on your space for display. We allow patrons to request titles before they are released/received, if you don’t, you might want to limit your cover art to titles that have arrived.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We used to create a new flyer with approximately 10-15 titles every month, that worked OK, but now we have the laminated base poster and just switch the cover art! Easy and great for our patrons!

<p class="MsoNormal">Another thing we did ... but no longer do is to load book cover jpegs onto an electronic photo frame. Staff loved it. Some patrons did. But when it went down for a couple days, no one noticed. It's gone and the paper remains.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">I put together "Coming Soon" flyers each month when I order new books. The flyers list the new titles by the most popular authors. We're a smaller library (I order about a hundred titles
a month, total), so it doesn't take more than about 30 mins to put them together (one each for fiction, large print, and audio books), and they seem to get a lot of use.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Our system is not high-tech at all, but works pretty well: we generate a list of high-demand books, give it a lick and a polish with some color or graphics, and post it at the desk. This is generated monthly
and includes both “new” and “coming soon”. We do a second list for AV.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">Absolutely! I have attached the fiction and large print versions from last month. We don't order a ton, so I usually include two months out. I change up the template colors with the seasons.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">I work at a small branch of a system, but at my branch we keep a copy of NY Times Bestsellers, and highlight the titles which our branch owns. It may not always list all of our newest titles, but it covers the major releases at least.
That way, even if it's checked out they can easily see we own a copy and ask to be added to the holds list.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I previously worked for a library that ordered extra copies through lease and then a certain number of them were placed on a “New & Hot” shelf. It would be the books with the high demand, high holds list, etc. This “new & hot” shelf would
have different rules for circulation, patrons couldn’t place holds on these titles, the books checked out for a shorter time frame and couldn’t be renewed, they were just on a first browse, first get basis. It helped with titles that had really long hold lists,
but also helped satisfy the browsers.<o:p></o:p></p>
