Novelist Training

Because the Pioneer Library System and our Director, Darlene, like to make sure that we who are helping patrons at the front desk know as much as possible about all the handy features that are available to us and our patrons, some of us went to a workshop last week that taught us how to use the Novelist database. This database helps with things like award winning books, author read-alikes, and that most common series question "What comes next?"
You can access Novelist by going to the OWWL website, clicking "Online Databases" than scrolling down to "Novelist". You can also access it on your regular catalog search search looking for the orange and gray "N". Look for it, and play!
