Today&#039;s Shelf Awareness pulls together tips (http://news.shelf-awareness.com/msgget.jsp?mid=2915226) from the booksellers on the panel, which can, of course, translate to libraries.

A podcast of the panel is also available on the Book Expo site (http://www.bookexpocast.com/), (or by clicking above), along with podcasts and videos of many of the other BEA-sponsored programs.
