I teach a 16 week RA course at our regional community college preparing students for a library associate degree, and the week I teach the unit covering readers' advisory resources I explain Fiction_L and challenge each student to sign up for the digest to see what sorts of questions are asked - while the "traffic" has gone way down over the years, there always seems to be something they report back that they discovered. Is Cuyahoga questioning dropping it? If so, would an active campaign to use it help to justify continuing its support?

Maybe we need to spread the word to our colleagues newer to the profession. They might not be aware of Fiction_L, and the possibilities the list offers.

 

(I too would be sad to see it go, but I don't do as much RA as I used to.)

Same here. It’s part of library:librarian history!

I'd say so...there was a long stretch this year of bad delivery practice (at very least on GMail, as I've discovered in the last few days)discovered), and there are still the same sorts of queries popping up on Project Wombat and other fora that are less focused on RA and similar searches.

Hi All,

There seems to be very little interest in keeping this list going and very little participation. 

Do you feel that this is still a valuable list to keep going?

I'm retired but I kept FictionL to stay in touch....and then nothing happened! It was last year when Denny Lien passed away -- after that posts dwindled....coincidence?
