FYI,

Sharon Rawlins Youth Services Consultant NJ State Library

From Norma Blake, NJ State Librarian and Kathleen Moeller-Peiffer, Associate State Librarian for Library Development-

The New Jersey State Library is pleased to announce that effective July 15, 2008 Novelist Plus and Novelist Plus K-8 will be available statewide via the Jersey Clicks search engine.

The newly released Novelist Plus products have added non-fiction readers' advisory to their already comprehensive fiction database. Novelist K-8 Plus provides access to over 17,000 nonfiction titles designed to support the curriculum and pleasure reading, while Novelist Plus has been expanded to over 200,000 fiction and non-fiction reviews. Add to that the book discussion guides, searchable award lists and recommended reading lists and you can quickly see the value of directing your customers to books they want to read quickly and with confidence.

New Jersey is pleased to be one of the first states (along with Pennsylvania and West Virginia) to license this product for our library staff and customers. Promotional materials and training will be coordinated with Ebsco by Scherelene Schatz, Jersey Clicks program manager, in partnership with our Regional Library Cooperatives-details will be available later this summer.

NOTE: N.J.A.C. 15:21-6 (b) 3 states libraries shall provide a library webpage with links to databases offered by the State and regional library cooperatives. Those libraries that wish to breakout individual databases and not use the Jersey Clicks icon may do so; however, they are still required to acknowledge that the database(s) are provided through the State Library.
