# How to Build Team Reading Lists with Claude

Claude curates team reading lists through a collaborative research conversation. Search across topics your team needs, evaluate candidates against the group experience level, and build a quarterly program with specific books for specific themes. The multi-step process produces a reading list with real reasoning behind each selection.

3. Claude returns relevant books with details
4. Ask: "Pick the 4 best for a quarterly reading program for new engineering managers"
5. Use the curated list for your team reading program
