NoveList Enhancements and Summer Reading

Run a search on summer reading in Discover GALILEO, and you will find articles that support the importance of bridging the summer reading gap to keep students engaged and even to boost comprehension. NoveList and NoveList K-8 are the perfect resources for finding books based on Lexile and grade levels, reading interests, and reliable reviews.

NoveList and NoveList K-8 users will find a few changes to the interface, including an updated design, as well as all-new autocomplete search functionality. The “Readers Advisory Toolbox” appears front and center with tools for learning about genres, finding read-alikes, spotlight articles, and more. Contributors to the articles and reading lists include librarians and other book experts who help users keep up with new titles and rediscover older titles.

The current spotlight is on award winners, a reminder that NoveList is the go-to place for a comprehensive list of international, national, and regional awards for adults, teens, and children. Awards lists are useful in finding ideas for collection development, book displays, summer reading lists, and book discussions.

NoveList offers several newsletters to help educators, librarians, parents, and all readers keep up with the database features and reading recommendations. Subscribe to a newsletter or check out previous issues.
