NoveList Is Now Linked to the Catalog!


Note (4/20/08) - Sadly I haven't been able to get the PURL to work in a blog post. The good news is that you can go directly from the book entry in NoveList to the item in the library catalog. I am going to play with this some more.
When you look up a book in NoveList it now has a feature that will check the CCPL catalog for the book and take you to it so you can request it. To find this link, scroll down the page and look for the heading, "Database and Persistent Link" (The persisent link (PURL) allows you to link the NoveList entry on a book to a blog or web page which is also a great feature.) There is a pink book icon labeled "Check the Library Catalog" which, if clicked, will trigger a search of the CCPL catalog for the book described in the article. Sweet!



Here is the purl for Shoeless Joe and Me by Dan Gutman. Check it out!
