Easy reading

A note from Karen Minton at GALILEO:

New interfaces for NoveList and NoveList K-8 are now in production. The new interfaces feature direct access to much of the collateral content that was previously deeper in the site and often overlooked, in addition to more intuitive navigation. Below are some of the new features.

* A single search box where users will be able to enter the author name, title, genre or topic all at once, combining search types for convenience and efficiency
* BookTalks, Recommended Reads reading lists, Author Read-alikes, Book Discussion Guides, and other editorial features are directly accessible from the homepage. These features are also easily accessible through tabbed results after a search.
* A browse feature allows browsing for subjects, titles, authors, series, and Dewey numbers
* A revamped and expanded readers' advisory section includes Genre Outlines designed for librarians and a five-unit training series
* Expanded result lists include book jacket images, links to feature content, and more.
* Author nationality, gender, cultural identity, and pseudonyms for key authors in a new author information field
* RSS feeds, easier persistent linking and simplified alerts for keeping current on newly-added titles and content

Go and play- you will need to get the password for home use of GALILEO from your Georgia librarian!

I smiled when I opened this e-mail- the new rep for Ebsco had just been in to visit. Timing.
