Demco Software released a white paper, “Going the Extra Service Mile: The State of Reading Recommendation Services in Libraries,” which shares findings from a 2017 survey of 330-plus public, academic, school, and special librarians from around the world. According to the press release, the findings include the following:- 70% of libraries offer reading recommendations, but 91% have no formal system in place for tracking user satisfaction.
- Overall, reading recommendations are seen as a key service by library decision makers (90%), staff (94%) and library users (41%) alike.
- Goals for the service vary, but an overwhelming majority see them as a way to foster greater community engagement (80%) and drive discovery of resources (77%).
