Week 5 Novelist Plus
I used One for the Money for series search with a 14 page result. Number 1 was the one I was looking for, the ever popular Stephanie Plum. The "view" makes it easy to provide hints to the reader that the series they are looking for has been located.
The "Read-alike" feature is extremely helpful for author suggestions while a reader is waiting for the next publishing or when a reader has finished all books and is looking for a new author. Some patrons just want to be pointed in a direction or handed a slip of paper while others seem to really cherish the personal touch of a brief description. The combination of novelist, Maine Infocat and ILL delivery service is a Win, Win, Win for Maine readers.
The "Read-alike" feature is a great aid in collection development and weeding for its brief but detailed content.
