Collection Development: Book Recommendations in Magazines

[Morlee Maynard]

What magazines are available to your church family? 

How do you use magazines to find books and DVDs for the library? 

 

[Morlee Maynard]

My church provides Home Life and Mature Living magazines on a rack outside the church office. Our team has occasionally noticed the list of books written by the article writers in the lower right corner of the last page of articles, but we are now in full use of those author lists. This approach started with our users asking if we had certain books mentioned in these magazines. We just received the following books discovered in the summer Home Life and Mature Living magazines:
