New Resources Available

NoveList Plus and NoveList k-8 Plus are now provided to all NC LIVE member libraries for the remainder of the 2009 calendar year. NoveList Plus replaces the basic NoveList subscription previously available from the NC LIVE website. The link to NoveList Plus remains the same.

NoveList K-8 Plus is a readers’ advisory service designed specifically for children in grades K-8. Books are searchable by author, title, series name, Lexile level (reading level), and plot (including character, topic, time period, and setting) to retrieve descriptions, reviews, discussion guides, and feature articles related to books of interest.

Readers may select from information provided to find similar books that appeal to them. Updated and expanded monthly, the service also includes lists of award-winning fiction, non-fiction, book lists arranged by genre and subgenre, feature articles, thematic units and more.

NoveList Plus, a service primarily aimed at adult and young adult readers, is similar to NoveList, but includes an expanded collection, as well as access to reviews and information on non-fiction reading materials.

Direct links to NoveList Plus and NoveList K-8 Plus are available from www.nclive.org, then select "Browse Resources" (Blue Tab at the top), below "Browse Resources" click on the "Alphabetic" and click on your desired NoveList database, both are listed under "N".

You will need an NCLIVE password to access these great resources off-campus, but it's easy to get one! Just stop by either library and ask for it at the front desk.
