Novel List ...gotta love the pun and this list is Fantastic!

Week 5

Discovery Exercise: 
Create a blog posting discussing the following questions and observations you have about NoveList Plus.

1. I am not a librarian, however, I loved searching for books this way. I found it very easy and straightforward to figure out. I also loved how they had current books up “for display” and that you could search and read a bit about a particular book. I like how easy it is to read and how to find similar books or genres of books.

I also found the popular award book list for Adults and children. I searched for books in several categories and by author. My son is reading The Willows in Winter by William Horwood. I searched for other titles by the same author and books that were similar. It was interesting. I thought that books would be listed by what library had them and whether or not it was available digitally as an eBook, but I could not figure that out.

2. In your blog, tell us
how using this tool could make your job easier and promote better customer service in your library.

 If you do not mind I am thinking this feature will help me find books and artists to read to make my knowledge of art history more interesting and exciting for my students by enriching my art lesson.

3. Take some time to explore this robust database. How can using NoveList Plus help you to increase awareness of the collection you have worked so hard to build, for both new and older items? Share what you take away from this exercise on your blog.

Using the Novel List Plus ( by the way I love the pun!) would help me as an art teacher find great interesting books to read. I am always at a lost of what books to find for my son who is an avid reader. Now I know where to go to find just the right book and how to search for it too!

I need to get my hand on the Art Forger by Barbara Shapiro. I have been to the Gardner Museum and found her collection inspiring.

4. Take a few minutes to read what your fellow participants have said about the previous question on their blog.
