Title: Nonfiction - The Second Stacks | Description: Are you ready to answer any patrons' book and reading questions -- but only if they ask about fiction? This introductory webinar on the basic types and genres of nonfiction, combined with practical techniques and tips for developing nonfiction title awareness and nonfiction readers' advisory skills, is designed to help you view nonfiction as an exciting new avenue for reader services, rather than as the intimidating "second stacks."
