Library Workers: Reader's Advisory

So this app is an AMAZING start for reader's advisory. I'm hoping at some point you will add a feature for those who work in libraries to create/save readers advisory searches/lists for patrons that are totally separate from their personal stats

Does our custom tags/lists feature not work? Or you mean you wouldn't want any tags used to show up anywhere on the user's profile?
Nadia I guess what I'm looking for is something like "non-personalized similar books," but for a whole list rather than one book. So one list could recommend books for a patron that likes sad, historical fiction, slow-paced books, and another list could recommend books for a patron that likes funny comic/graphic novels that are fast-paced, and the selections on one (or the main TBR/Read History) wouldn't effect the recommendations for the other. Each list would essentially have its own "reading prefereneces" profile.
I love that the storygraph automatically personalizes for users because most of them are... well, PERSONAL users! But when one account is being used for multiple people (like a company account), obviously that leads to hit-and-miss recs
bekahmccue Oh, I gotcha! For now, you could use the Advanced Similar Users feature, unchecking the "as similar to me as possible" checkbox and then browsing the libraries of the users that come up. Not the same at all, but a way to discover new reads that fit a profile!
