What's popular with PI's readers? EVERYTHING--except Westerns. It's an all day process to keep PI's displays filled. Whether it be new fiction, mystery, nonfiction, YA, or children's, as fast as a display is merchandized it's emptied. It's a challenge to be knowledgeable about every one of these areas and see that our customers' needs are met. Early Word certainly contains the information to keep us updated on all these areas. However, there's sooooooo much information on the site that it overwhelms me. Where do you find the time during the workday to absorb ALL of that information???
I've decided to focus on a few of the resources for now. The New Titles Radar and Kids New Titles Radar will help keep me abreast of latest releases to watch out for. I loved the Best Sellers Lists because there were so many popular ones (including Amazon, Indie, New York Times, NPR, USA Today, and Washington Post) all on one site. The Awards lists include Agatha, Caldecott, Newberry, Edgar, Pulitzer, Romance Writers, etc. Once again, everything's on one site so I don't have to do multiple searches. Finally, the Movies & TV Based on Books--Tie Ins and Trailers will be a major help in creating displays quickly and tracking down titles for customers.
