Novelist

     I really enjoy using Novelist at work at the library.  I like to be able to easily find the next book in a series, and recommend books that are similar to what a patron has been reading.  So, I think this is one week where I won't be lost trying to understand how do my homework.  I am curious as to what some of the other features are, for instance "Book Discussion Guides."  Now I see that it has questions and answers and resources about the book.  Not all books have them, but it looks like ofver 800 do.
    When I looked at the series for the book Case Histories I found that it's called Jackson Brodie Mysteries.  The "Titles Only" is good for printing out a list for a patron who wants to know which book to read next.
    I have used "Read-alikes from NoveList" to find other books for patrons that they might enjoy. Sometimes I gather them up to show the patron, and let them chose what they like.
    I am looking forward to using NoveList more in the future for my personal use and for the library.
