Featured Database: NoveList
You can use databases to easily find organized collections of articles, journals, news, streaming videos, primary sources, data, and more!
Here’s one of our favorite databases:
What’s in it?
This database helps readers connect with the books they want to read. It provides recommendations on books based on age groups, genre, theme, author, title, or award. It gives readers quick synopses, user popularity rankings, and reviews before they commit. Novelist provides recommendations based on a reader’s favorite books.
Why should you use it?
Novelist is a comprehensive source for reading recommendations and its interface is easy to navigate.
Who should use it?
This is a great resource for anyone who loves to read and is searching for their next reading adventure.
Why use a database?
When you use a specific database, rather than a search engine or discovery tool, you often can find more relevant sources. For example, subject databases include sources about that subject only, rather than a general search engine or discovery tool that includes information about everything. This way you don’t have to wade through thousands of irrelevant results!
