What it does
NoveList supplies reader-advisory tools to libraries, including recommendations based on reading preferences and catalogue-connected read-alikes.
Ask whether your library provides NoveList when a general recommendation site does not capture why you liked a book. Preference-based recommendations can go beyond genre labels. NoveList’s products have different library and age-group roles, so use the access route your institution supplies.
NoveList Plus is the general recommendation product, K8 Plus serves younger readers, and Select places read-alikes inside a library catalogue. A library subscription to one of these should not be treated as access to every NoveList staff tool.
Watch out for
- Access depends on the library’s subscribed service
Best for
- Finding read-alikes through a participating library
