Excellent Katherine, I’m convinced!
This is a great idea and I found your argument coherent, interesting and convincing. Increasing literacy, high-order thinking and the library’s client base and circulation figures are all goals that academic libraries already have. Giving existing users the opoortunity for pleasurable leisure time reading while at the same time promoting their own goals and metrics seems like a no-brainer now that I’ve read your reflection.
How soon can we get QUT’s library on board? Looking forward to implementation asap 🙂
