Task #12

I've used Novelist a little bit, so I'm glad this was one of our tasks. I learned a number of helpful tools. I will definitely be using the 'Author Read-Alikes' function for my own personal reading. Unfortunately, it appears they do not have this tool on Novelist K-8, which is really too bad because there are many parents and kids who ask about similar authors. However, the 'Recommended Reads' is a helpful resource that I have shown patrons when asked about similar reads, and I plan on using it even more. Also, I was really pleased to be told about the 'Series Title' search. This search seems easier than the KDL's What's Next search. And lastly, I played with the 'Describe a Plot' search. This may come in handy in the future too. I'll have to compare it to All Readers plot search. (I haven't had much success with All Readers.)
