Prereq: Students should have completed or be concurrently enrolled in LIS/IS502 - Libraries, Information & Society. ### We will examine romance readers & reading from a library perspective. More specifically, we will investigate the tension between romance fiction’s profound popularity & its frequent denigration. While we will explore the romance genre itself, we will situate our conversation in the institutional & ethical context of the library, primarily focusing on romance readers motivations, meaning-making practices & pleasures, on the one hand & the ways in which librarians perceive, portray, serve & sometimes criticize these readers on the other. Topics covered will include gender, taste, literacy & prof ethics. Students will also develop some requisite skills to effectively advise romance readers in the library, though this is not the focus of the course. No antecedent familiarity w/popular romance is required or expected. Restriction(s): Restricted to students in the Information Sciences department.
