Your monthly guide to the latest news and readers' advisory inspiration from NoveList


Readers' Advisory with a Personal Touch

 

Building relationships with your readers can seem like a daunting task -- with all the work happening in a library day-to-day, it's easy for it to fall down a few notches on the priority list. But with a game-on! attitude and a little help from NoveList, the task of building lasting connections with your readers gets just a little bit easier. 

 

The Latest

Summer reading searches, or, don't fear the advanced search page!

Adults vary when it comes to reading choices and kids are no different. But no matter who walks into your library, NoveList has the tools for you.

 

 

Self-check your way to great recommendations

I have two advantages when it comes to finding read-alikes. One: I’m a librarian and trained to find good books. Two: I work at NoveList. However, most of our readers aren’t librarians. 

Introducing embedded linked data widgets

In that post, I promised to show you some intriguing things happening to libraries’ linked data. Today, I begin making good on that promise with embed widgets, a coming-soon feature that allows libraries to post their own linked data on their website.
