Readers often think of nonfiction as an information experience and not as a story experience, and indeed many nonfiction titles are task oriented, teaching readers how to knit or outlining the process of building a fence. But there is a huge body of nonfiction that is both informative and story-based. New nonfiction classics like Jon Krakauer's "Into Thin Air" (Anchor: Doubleday), Sebastian Junger's "The Perfect Storm" (HarperPerennial), and Mark Bowden's "Black Hawk Down" (Penguin) remind us that story is not something that is made up so much as something that is presented in a certain way. The techniques of narrative storytelling such as character, plot, setting, scene, and dialog can be employed in a nonfiction work as well as a fictional one. The degree to which they are employed creates one of the baseline elements of nonfiction readers' advisories (RA). Fiction RA provides a strong base to build upon--but nonfiction RA expands on the broad and adaptive framework to embrace intriguing new considerations like narrative structure, appeal, subject, and type. Developing nonfiction RA skills allows librarians to mine the richness of their whole collection, enhance and build new RA skills, and offer readers a wider range of titles based upon what they like to read.
