Reading for Pleasure
Besides
locating books to read, users can learn more about books and
authors through Author Read-alikes, Feature Articles, Book
Discussion Guides, and BookTalks. These features have been developed
specifically with NoveList users in mind, offering support
for librarians, teachers, and individual readers. The For Staff Only
sections provide additional support for readers' advisory and school
curricula. Hypertext links from title records allow the user to go
directly to articles or guides that mention the title, as well as to
the lists in Explore Fiction or Best Fiction where the titles
appear.
NoveList contains materials
for all ages including picture books, children's "chapter"
books, young adult titles and books for adult readers. Updated
monthly, the NoveList database integrates information from a
variety of sources. The Hennepin County Library is the main source
of the enhanced subject access contained in the NoveList
database. NoveList contains full-text reviews for adult,
young adult, children's and easy fiction titles from several
journals, including: Booklist, School Library Journal, Library
Journal and Publishers Weekly. In addition to these
reviews, there are annotations and summaries, and all of them are
searchable!
NoveList adds about 10,000 new
fiction records to the database per year, along with reviews and
descriptions when they are available. The theme-oriented book lists
in Explore Fiction are periodically revised, and the awards lists in
Best Fiction are updated along with the full database each month.
New Author Read-alikes, Feature Articles, Book Discussion Guides,
and BookTalks are also added monthly.
