      Speaker(s)

Currently Jo Ann Vicarel is the Branch Manager of the Noble Neighborhood 
Library in Cleveland Heights. Her Branch specializes in Mystery Fiction. 
She has long been recognized as an expert on the Mystery novel and has 
spoken at many OLC Chapter Conferences and given workshops to library 
systems and regional consortiums throughout the state. She has reviewed 
Mysteries for Library Journal for twenty five years. She currently 
writes their monthly Mystery Column. She is the author of A READER'S 
GUIDE TO THE POLICE PROCEDURAL. When she saw a need for a reader's 
advisory group at the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public 
Library she arranged for training and set up a group which still meets 
every month. They are working on the philosophy of being a Reader's 
Advisor.


      Description

While big publishers are cutting back on the number of books published 
every year, the Mystery novel is a wide open genre made so by a number 
of small presses. Come hear about new authors writing Mysteries, new and 
current themes in this genre and ways you can use to help your readers 
find good books. We will discuss ways to keep lists of Read-a-likes, 
trends in publishing in the genre, what to buy for your library, the 
importance of weeding and displays and where to find good information on 
the Internet.
