Editor's Notes
- In the drop down menu next to the search bar, select “list”Enter author name, title, appeal factor, etc… Look for lists created by library staff members. Many will have a small icon next to their user-name (a person with an “L” next to it). You may also find lists from a search of a title. Click on the title’s record. Look to the right hand side of the screen to see if this title appears in any lists. Can be a great way to suggest alternative titles when a book is checked-out (see The Fault in Our Stars by John Green).
