"Creating a virtual exhibition"

With the release of the library into the information space, along with book exhibitions, electronic (virtual) book exhibitions have become widespread in our time. The electronic exhibition is a synthesis of the traditional (book) and the latest (electronic) ways of presenting information. It can be placed on the site, and now this area of ​​library activity is very relevant and in demand.

There are several definitions of a "virtual book fair":

"animation depicting paintings, books, other resources, press releases, information about works and authors"

"3D animated journey with detailed information about authors, artists, lists of references, additional information from other Internet sites".

Virtual Exhibition- public demonstration on the Internet using Internet tools and tools of virtual images of specially selected and systematized print works and other media, as well as publicly available electronic resources recommended to remote users of the library for review, familiarization and use.

Purpose of the virtual exhibition– public Internet presentation various kinds documents. Such an exhibition is mobile, compact, meaningful and is an up-to-date guide in a vast flow of information. Each exhibition is made with the help of an original multimedia design that simulates being at an exhibition, facilitating navigation and perception of information.

An essential advantage of virtual exhibitions is that virtual exhibitions are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

What tasks does a virtual exhibition solve in a library?

By creating virtual exhibitions, librarians solve several problems at once:

master the new kind work using digital technologies to the exhibition work of the library;

keep the exposition for a longer period than a traditional exhibition provides;

support the safety of the library fund by submitting the material in electronic form;

enable the remote user to use the information resources of the library.

Types and forms of virtual book exhibitions:

One book exhibitions

Presentation of covers and brief annotations for books with musical accompaniment

Collection of book trailers

Collection of audio recordings

Exhibition of books in the form of an interactive poster

Exhibition of books in the form of a mind map

Exhibition of books in the form of a 3D book.

What is the algorithm for preparing and organizing electronic book exhibitions?

Thinking about creating a virtual exhibition, you need to be prepared for a long, painstaking, but interesting work. On the material of any exhibition, you can develop its electronic version. Thus, the exhibition will take the form of a computer presentation.

The creation of electronic bibliographic resources is necessarily based on the traditional methodology and includes new features of the electronic computer environment (Word word processor, preparation system PowerPoint presentations, HTML markup language, etc.). In a virtual book exhibition, as in a traditional one, sections, quotes are used, there is a design (this includes covers and open books, placement aesthetics, colors, etc.). Application possible additional elements, inherent in a traditional book exhibition (this is, for example, a factual information about the author or subject, a list of additional literature) and distinguishing a virtual book exhibition (hypertext links to full texts or fragments of documents, multimedia effects, interactive user interaction, etc.).

When organizing virtual book exhibitions, it is mandatory to strictly follow the standards for presenting traditional book exhibitions:

- artistic presentation of the book (image of the cover, open book, including the possibility of interactive page turning, the ability to read a fragment of text, etc.);

– bibliographic description of the book;

– annotation of the presented book (what kind of annotation - recommendatory or reference - to use depends on the target and reader's purpose indicated in the preface).

Development of an electronic book exhibition model:

Choose a theme for your e-show;

Analyze what material you will need to organize an exhibition;

Select the books and illustrations you need;

Plan the exhibition.

Technical preparation of the project:

Scan illustrations, prepare text materials;

Create a separate folder on the disk in which your preliminary materials will be stored.

Most often, the following programs are used to create a virtual exhibition: Microsoft Office Power Point, Windows Movie Maker - a program for creating a site and Web - pages, Picassa Web Album.

Power point program serves to create presentations using an ordered set of slides, for graphic explanation of speeches at seminars, conferences, etc. The program helps to create a development electronic documents special kind, which are characterized by complex multimedia content and special playback capabilities. Power Point allows you to create compelling presentations with graphics, animations and other multimedia elements, and provides a more convenient way to show them. Convenient means of showing presentations. Use of graphics.

Windows Movie Ma ker is a video editor from Microsoft that is very popular among users. It does not belong to the class of professional editors and can be used even by the most inexperienced users. With the help of Windows Movie Maker, we can create a video with relative ease, or, for example, a slide show. In general, all work with the program consists in dragging video, audio and photo onto the timeline, and adding effects. With this simple video editor, we can trim the video, or overlay it on its audio track. You can also add effects, titles and titles. All effects can be previewed "live", and only then apply them. Titles and titles can be used, for example, when creating a slide show. Windows Movie Maker is designed primarily for creating simple, but sometimes very effective videos from videos or photos. Many video formats are supported: AVI, ASF, DVR-MS, MPEG, MPG, MP2, WMV, M1V, WM, MPV2. But you can only save the final video in WMV format.

Picassa Web Album.

viewing photos in normal and full screen modes, including as a slide show

photo editing, cropping and straightening

apply various effects to photos, including red-eye correction

assigning labels and keywords to photos

photo printout

creating photo collages

send photos by e-mail publishing them on blogs

create screensavers and photo slideshow CDs from your photos.

Explanatory note

Most often, librarians use a virtual exhibition in the form of a cover presentation with annotations. This is not always convenient, because the reader cannot look inside the book, scroll through it, or look at the illustrations. Deciding to move away from this option, I decided to create a virtual exhibition where you can not only leaf through the book, but also listen to the audio recording of the book and even read it all. The virtual exhibition will include not only books, but also audio recordings, video files, which may not even be in the collection of this library.

Step 1.

Exhibition theme selection: « I love you, my native land." Quote selection.

The relevance of the topic is also determined by the fact that local history is nothing but an important means of connecting the school with life. The cultural tradition of any nation is the study of nature, history, economy, life of their region . wrote that "local history teaches people not only to love their native places, but also to know about them, teaches them to be interested in history, art, literature, to raise their cultural level. This is the most massive type of science."

Step 2

Collection of information, material on this topic, analysis of the material necessary for the organization of the exhibition. It was decided to present new books about our region in a variety of ways. The purpose of presenting books at the exhibition is to attract the reader, to interest him with the information presented at the exhibition, not just to inform the reader, but to include an emotional component, to arouse interest in the book and the author. And for this it is necessary to use the possibility of Web-design, among other means.

Step 3

So, having thought over the design of the exhibition, we begin the artistic presentation of the book (the image of the cover, an open book, including the possibility of interactive page turning, the ability to read a fragment of text, etc.).

Be sure to add a bibliographic description for each book; brief annotation.

Step 4

The arrangement of slides according to the scheme of the exhibition, the use of hyperlinks to return to the main page.

The virtual exhibition "I love you, my native land" can be viewed by clicking on the link:

CBS of the Avtozavodsky district of Nizhny Novgorod. Creation and use of electronic exhibitions in the library

Karzanova, A. Creation of electronic exhibitions in the library / A. Karzanova // Panorama of library experience. - Minsk, 2012. - S. 80-93. - (Library offers).

Examples of virtual exhibitions:

Children's and Youth Library Anapa Resort City. Virtual book fairs

Creation of electronic exhibitions in the library

The objects of innovation in the library are as technological processes, so products and services. Usage multimedia technologies allows you to introduce innovations in the traditional activities of the library - the exhibition. What is an electronic book fair?

Electronic exhibitions (virtual) is a synthesis of traditional book and the latest electronic ways presentation of information. The virtual exhibition is mobile, compact, meaningful and is an up-to-date guide in a vast flow of information. The virtual exhibition is mobile, compact, meaningful and is an up-to-date guide in a vast flow of information. The concept of "virtual book exhibition" is also understood as the presentation of books in electronic PowerPoint format, and an electronic exhibition of fully digitized publications, and complete digital author's collections of works.

Thanks to the possibility of organizing permanent exhibitions, libraries can create cycles of virtual book exhibitions that operate simultaneously.

Using the capabilities of hypertext allows you to focus on each book. Note that moving around the exhibition using hyperlinks requires active participation from the user; the user has the opportunity to ignore sections that do not meet his interests, and to get to know the publications of interest to him more deeply. Hypertext links allow organizers to organize the space of the Internet page in such a way that the user can at any time get an idea about the exhibition as a whole and about each book shown in the exposition.

An e-library exhibition can be created in PowerPoint format - electronic presentation. This format is currently widely used by us. The possibilities provided by this program allow you to create electronic exhibitions of literature, where the first slide represents the entire set of exhibited publications, and all subsequent slides represent individual publications or authors.

The main elements that make up the electronic exhibition are visuals and text.

The visual range is represented by illustrative material (book covers, spreads, illustrations, maps, photographs, etc.).

The text that accompanies and reveals the visuals consists of quotations, annotations, biographical notes and bibliographic descriptions.

Conditions for visual comfort:

  • the brightness of the object should be within reasonable limits;
  • the contrast of the image relative to the background must be chosen taking into account the size of the object: the smaller its size, the higher the contrast should be;
  • the size of the symbol should be consistent with the visual acuity of the person. It also affects the speed and correctness of perception of information, the visual sensation rises and falls for 0.5 seconds.

When using animation effects in text fragments, it should be taken into account that an electronic library exhibition can be implemented in two modes: a random demonstration mode and a user-controlled demonstration. These modes offer different viewing times.

It is more expedient to use animation effects in relation to the entire text or its large fragments. The appearance of the text on the principle of "typewriter" - by letter - slows down the viewing time of the exhibition and, if the text is large enough, tires the eyesight.

When using traditional (static) drawings and photographs, it is important to choose the right scale for the image. The size of the details must match the resolution of the screen and the acuity of human vision.

Electronic representation of information involves careful handling of colors. When choosing a color, experts recommend following the following principles:

  • red and blue colors attract the most attention;
  • however, the blue color is of little use for coloring small graphic objects that require maximum image clarity; for these purposes, the colors yellow-green, yellow and orange are used, and the blue color is used for an accentuating substrate for highlighted graphic elements;
  • it is advisable to use color rather than light (brightness) contrast;
  • dark purple, dark green, lemon yellow, yellow green and pale pink shades and combinations cause negative reactions and should be used very carefully

Electronic exhibitions for children also have their own specifics. The ability to use not only animation, but also game moments makes this form of work especially attractive for children and adolescents. An exhibition in a children's library may contain a literary quiz, which will allow you to fully use the possibilities of information technology.

Exist various models electronic exhibitions:

  • exhibition-question;
  • exhibition-quote;
  • chronicle exhibition;
  • exhibition-quiz;
  • crossword exhibition;
  • exhibition-illustration.

Their basis is the same - a set of bibliographic descriptions, illustrative material.

The virtual exhibition provides librarians and readers additional features, namely:

  1. The use of information technology. The very "participation" of the computer in the conversation, the presence of book characters on the monitor screen, animation - all this is very popular not only for children, but also for adults. Perception through a computer serves as a kind of bait for readers, especially children. Bright, colorful, with animation, using game moments, switching the attention of children from animated screensavers to a static page - all this makes the virtual exhibition lively and dynamic. Taking a book as a basis, creating electronic resources for children, it is possible not only to provide the user with quick access to materials and information about documents, but also to present the value of the book at a new level of understanding.
  2. The exhibition is designed for different audiences. And one person and large group readers can get acquainted with the books either on their own or at an event with a librarian. And if you present it on the Internet, everyone can get acquainted. The use of electronic exhibitions makes it possible for librarians to communicate remotely with readers, without being tied to the inevitable formalities in service.
  3. It can be displayed a large number of books.
  4. At any time, you can change slides and their location in a matter of minutes, remove unnecessary ones or insert new ones, vary color scheme, or overall design.
  5. The work of such an exhibition can be launched automatically, equipped with a voiced text and demonstrated without special accompaniment.
  6. The possibility of developing electronic exhibitions as traveling ones. It is very convenient to demonstrate them in different educational institutions, auditoriums, classrooms, classrooms.
  7. Electronic exhibitions save space. There is no need to work with racks, stands, exhibition cabinets.

In the book "Exhibition Activities of Public Libraries" N.V. Zbarovskaya gives an algorithm for the preparation and organization of electronic book exhibitions:

  1. Development of an electronic book exhibition model:
    • select the theme of your e-exhibition;
    • analyze what material you will need for
    • organization of the exhibition;
    • select the books and illustrations you need;
    • plan the exhibition.
  2. Technical preparation of the project:
    scan illustrations, prepare text materials;
    create a separate folder on the disk in which your preliminary materials will be stored.
  3. Presentation of work in PowerPoint format:
    create 6-10 presentation slides by yourself or using templates;
    illustrate slides using prepared materials, as well as animation effects;
    spend preview Exhibitions;
    correct the shortcomings you noticed;
    prepare the e-exhibition for display.

On the material of any exhibition, you can develop its electronic version. Thus, the exhibition will take the form of a computer presentation.

Thus, an electronic (virtual) exhibition is a new type of information and library service for users. It is mobile, compact, informative, is an up-to-date conductor in a vast flow of information and allows libraries to keep pace with the times.

In the Age of the Internet Global network has become an important part of cultural life in general and the life of cultural institutions in particular. Today, library users are familiar with such services as electronic document delivery (EDD), virtual reference services, virtual guides to Internet resources, online access to databases and electronic catalogs, and thematic web projects. Library exhibitions are also experiencing an era of modernization, adapting to a remote type of user service.

The first virtual (electronic, interactive) exhibitions in the field of culture appeared in the largest museums in Russia - the Moscow Kremlin State Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve, the Tretyakov Gallery, the State Museum of Architecture. A. V. Shchuseva. Today, all major museums in Russia are actively working to create virtual exhibitions on their own websites.

In library practice, virtual exhibitions began to be used for the first time in scientific and university libraries of the country. There are such exhibitions on the websites of the university libraries of the Udmurt Republic - the Scientific Library of the Udmurt State University, Izhevsk State Technical University, Izhevsk State Agricultural Academy, Izhevsk State Medical Academy. As a rule, these are thematic annotated lists of new arrivals of books and magazines, which are accompanied by additional information: book cover photo, information about the author, the history of the study of this issue, etc.

A VIRTUAL EXHIBITION is a public demonstration on the Internet using web technologies of virtual images of specially selected and systematized printed works and other media, as well as public electronic resources recommended for viewing, familiarization and use by remote library users.

The virtual exhibition, in comparison with the traditional one, provides librarians and readers with additional features and benefits.

  1. The use of information technology makes the virtual exhibition lively and dynamic. Bright, colorful, with animation, using game moments, switching attention from animated screensavers to a static page, virtual exhibitions are attractive to readers, and especially to children.
  2. A virtual exhibition is not limited by place and time - from any computer, anywhere and at any time of the day, you can get all the necessary information on this topic in full.
  3. The exhibition is designed for different audiences. Anyone can get to know her. The use of virtual exhibitions makes it possible for librarians to communicate remotely with readers, without being tied to the inevitable formalities in service.
  4. At a virtual exhibition, you can present a large number of books without taking up the real space of the library; there is no need to work with racks, stands, exhibition cabinets.
  5. The work of the exhibition can be launched automatically, equipped with voiced text and demonstrated without special accompaniment.
  6. Virtual exhibitions can be used as traveling exhibitions - it is convenient to demonstrate them in various educational institutions, auditoriums, classrooms, classes.
  7. You can not worry about the safety of the publications presented at the exhibition.
  8. Virtual exhibitions can function indefinitely and even permanently.
  9. It is possible to redirect the user to other resources by placing links to online stores where you can buy your favorite book; on Internet book search systems (such as books.google.com), libraries that also contain this book.
  10. Placing an exhibition on the library website, as well as advertising links to it on other sites, allows you to increase the number of its visitors, and hence potential readers.

However, the virtual exhibition also has some limitations.

  1. Creating and viewing a virtual exhibition requires a computer. Not every PC meets the requirements necessary to view the exhibition.
  2. Not every library user has the necessary skills to view a virtual exhibition.
  3. In case of technical failures, the presentation of the exhibition and its viewing becomes impossible.
  4. The producer of a virtual exhibition must have the necessary computer skills and artistic taste.

The identified advantages and limitations allow us to say that the development of a virtual exhibition requires a special method of preparation, which differs from the method of preparing traditional book exhibitions. The book "Exhibition Activities of Public Libraries" by N. V. Zbarovskaya provides an algorithm for the preparation and organization of electronic virtual exhibitions.

Structure. A virtual exhibition, like a traditional one, should consist of sections that are accompanied by quotations, introductory articles, and illustrative material. The exhibition should be user-friendly in the web space and may contain the following information:

  • visual (cover image, digitized parts of the book: preface, introduction, etc.),
  • bibliographic data (bibliographic record and codes of the collection of the library presenting the exhibition),
  • analytical information (abstracts, abstracts to publications, reviews, reader reviews, etc.),
  • digitized parts of the book (chapters, most interesting excerpts, etc.),
  • links to the full texts of the book, if they are available in the library or on the Internet.

You can also place Additional materials on the topic of the exhibition:

  • links to Internet resources (biographies, critical articles, reviews, testimonials, thematic sites),
  • information about the availability of books in other libraries, online stores, etc.

Special requirements apply to registration virtual exhibitions. The first slide should contain information relating to the virtual exhibition as a whole. All subsequent slides are separate exhibits of the exhibition. The visual range of a virtual exhibition is represented by illustrative material (book covers, spreads, illustrations, maps, photographs, etc.). The text itself, which accompanies and reveals the visuals, should consist of quotations, annotations, biographical notes. It is recommended to place hints and help messages at the top of the screen.

When using animation, two options for the display mode are taken into account: a free demonstration and a user-adjusted demonstration. It is advisable to use animation effects in relation to the entire text or its large fragments. The appearance of typewriter-like text slows down browsing time, and large text tires the eyesight. When using traditional drawings and photographs, it is important to choose the right scale and use the color palette well. In this case, if a graphic image is displayed on the screen along with text, it is recommended to leave 1/2 of the screen blank: the size of the details should correspond to the resolution of the screen and the sharpness of human vision.

There is a certain set of conditions that visual comfort of the user when working with information in electronic form:

  • the brightness of the object should be within reasonable limits;
  • the contrast of the image relative to the background must be chosen taking into account the size of the object: the smaller its size, the higher the contrast should be;
  • The eye has the greatest sensitivity to yellow-green radiation, the least to violet and red;
  • the size of the symbol must be consistent with the visual acuity of the person; it also affects the speed and correctness of perception of information;
  • since the space of a virtual exhibition is limited by the size of the monitor, it should not be overloaded with special effects and color variety - the user's attention should not be scattered by distractions. The exception is exhibitions for children, who are attracted by colorfulness and animation effects. But still, you need to remember that the abundance of animation, photos, pictures increases the page load time.

It should also be noted that the creation of a high-quality, attractive and easy-to-view virtual exhibition involves the use of modern technology and software. There are a fairly large number of services that can help create virtual exhibitions on their sites. Here are some of them (in most cases, instructions for working with services are presented on English language with the possibility of automatic translation into Russian):

  • PhotoPeach. The service is good for creating simple but vibrant photo exhibitions.
  • bannersnack. Using this service, you can create a simple and bright book photo exhibition or "bibliobanner" that can be edited at any time. In the banner, in addition to pictures, you can embed videos. (See an example of an output banner.)
  • Sharesnack. The service allows you to create a voiced exhibition on the work of one writer or on a specific topic. The product is created in a simple way: links to YouTube videos are inserted into the proposed form.
  • popplet. The service provides opportunities to create a more complex and extensive exhibition, even if it is a single book exhibition (see exhibition example). It allows you to create detailed exhibitions with sections, quotes, illustrations. Here you can insert video, audio materials and text in Russian. In addition, the service is ideal for organizing the collective work of readers on the creation of an exhibition. Each of the participants can work on their own section of the exhibition.
  • playcast. The service allows you to create a small exhibition-postcard on a separate work, using text, photos, music. (See how to create a playcast.)
  • Calameo. Service for creating an exhibition-book. You can create both individual books and entire virtual bookshelves. (Cm. .)
  • Dipity. This service is an ideal option for creating an exhibition chronicle of the writer's work. Such an exhibition can be supplemented with illustrations, video materials, links, a map, and viewed in four modes to choose from: as a timeline; each event separately; list of events; event locations specified when the map was created. (See the description of the work in the service.)
  • Zoo Burst. Service for creating a 3D book. As an option - the joint creation of an exhibition-fairy tale. To insert pictures, the ClipArt library is used, but you can also upload your own pictures.
  • Prezi. A service for creating a new generation exhibition-presentation, in which you can collapse all the material into one picture, and by enlarging one or another slide, focus on a specific text, word, image.

The virtual exhibition can also be placed on the library website in HTML format. It is good if the librarian, when creating an exhibition, works in alliance with a designer, an information technology specialist with web design skills.

More and more libraries, having mastered the traditional structure of a virtual exhibition, are trying to find new ways to publicly display printed works on the Internet in order to open their funds. Currently becoming popular playcasts(see above) and booktrailers.

Booktrailer- this is a miniature video, a teaser (teaser), in an arbitrary artistic form, telling about the book. It includes the brightest and most recognizable moments of the work, visualizes its content. When creating a booktrailer, you can use video, or you can get by with illustrations, photographs, book spreads.

Presenting books to the reader and promoting book reading in the global cultural community, book trailers have become a separate original genre that combines literature, visual arts and the Internet. Since 2012, the All-Russian booktrailer contest-parade has been held annually in Russia, in which libraries also take an active part. So, on the portal "Wiki. SibiriaDa", created in 2011 by the Novosibirsk Regional Children's Library as a free resource for the collective work of librarians, local history teachers, children, adolescents and youth on the creation, placement and preservation of materials from the Siberian region, today distance learning is organized to create book trailers.

Virtual exhibitions are widely used in libraries of all types - regional, municipal, special. Let us give some examples by analyzing the virtual exhibitions of some of them.

The simplest example of a traditional virtual exhibition (a list of new literature acquisitions supplemented with photographs of book covers) can be seen on the websites of many libraries: the Pskov Regional Universal Scientific Library, the Tula Regional Universal Scientific Library, the Bryansk Regional Scientific Universal Library. F. I. Tyutchev, Sverdlovsk Regional Interethnic Library, etc.

Central City Library. A. S. Pushkina, Kamensk-Uralsky, made the first virtual exhibitions in the Word program by creating documents with hyperlinks. Then the library staff mastered the simplest visual editor of HTML pages and began to produce more advanced electronic products. The Stilius portal was created, allowing you to get acquainted with the whole variety of virtual exhibitions of this library: the exhibition “The Legend of Letters. Secrets of the Russian alphabet”, an exhibition dedicated to the 180th anniversary of the book by N. V. Gogol “Evenings on a farm near Dikanka”, an exhibition “A Star named Love”, dedicated to L. Orlova, etc.

There are many examples of creating virtual exhibitions in the libraries of the Udmurt Republic.

On the site National Library The Udmurt Republic in the section "Virtual Exhibitions in 3D" presents, for example, such exhibitions as "Modernization of Education. School of the 21st century”, “Legend about the writings: to the 1150th anniversary of the Slavic alphabet”, “Fashionable genre: literary biography”, “Accessible and fascinating about the achievements of science”, “Japanese literature: from the depths of centuries to the present”, “Russian language for everyone and everyone” and others. At these exhibitions, you can virtually “wander” around the hall, “approach” the exhibition racks, look at books, read annotations, sometimes flip through several pages of the books presented (these can be separate chapters).

The creators of the "Virtual Exhibitions" page on the website of the Central Municipal Library. N. A. Nekrasov, Izhevsk, offer the reader to get acquainted with a brief overview of the book exhibition on display within the walls of the library, and look at the photo of the exhibition as a whole. However, it is difficult to call this exhibition virtual: it is impossible to see the book covers - the photos are very small, there is not a single bibliographic description of the books, the text of the review looks more like an advertisement.

But the virtual exhibitions of the Central Municipal Children's Library. M. Gorky city of Izhevsk are very interesting and exciting. All of them, separated by target audiences(to children, parents, teachers, colleagues) are presented in the form of colorful, dynamic videos with moving pictures and good music that can interest both young readers and their parents: “Books that help to live”, “Knizhkin House”, “Together with I grow up with a book”, “Pet of the Muses, Pet of the Battle”, etc.

They create their own virtual exhibitions and small branch libraries, for example, the library to them. V. M. Azina CBS of Izhevsk. In the "Virtual exhibitions" section of the library's website, there is an exhibition of "Electronic optical discs in local history", which opens with a slide showing all the discs presented on it. Further information is given for each disc separately (photo, bibliographic description, annotation, table of contents). The exhibition is bright and colorful. Another exhibition - "Monisto - the national decoration of Udmurt women" - begins with brief history appearance of decoration, further photos of books, bibliographic description, annotation are offered. This exhibition is decorated in the same colorful way, but static, without animation. Both presented exhibitions can be viewed directly on the library website and downloaded for further use in your work.

An analysis of library sites allows us to conclude that virtual exhibitions have firmly taken their place in the activities of libraries to popularize books and reading. They are mobile, compact, meaningful and are an up-to-date guide in a vast flow of information. The multimedia nature of the exhibitions makes it possible to solve meaningful problems more effectively, and their interactivity allows to involve the reader in the world of books and create feedback.
