New database: Books & Authors

I have made a new resource from TEL available on our A_Z list and Literature subject page. It is called Books and Authors and you can find out about some of the features on the info page at http://library.apsu.edu/inform/21booksauthors.htm . I my opinion, this is like a much improved “What Do I read Next” database with a better interactive interface that allows for accounts to be created and personalized.

Note:

Books & Authors lets you create a landing page for a book club program, as well as unique pages for every discussion group in the library. This might be helpful for events like the Peay Read. Here is an example of how it can be customized:

Let me know if you would like to experiment with this customization.
