NoveList Select

Expertly curated recommendations, not crowdsourced 
What makes NoveList Select’s recommendations different from what you get in other products? Nearly three decades of readers’ advisory expertise. NoveList’s book professionals meticulously catalog and tag authors and titles, resulting in highly relevant search results, not loosely tied suggestions. 

At the point of need 
We provide recommendations where they’re needed most: right at the point of frustration in a catalog when a user is staring down a record with a long holds list. Readers will find not only great read-alikes for titles, authors, and series but also series order, our fun mix-and-match story elements, and more. Your readers get a book they’ll love, and library staff get the support they need to make professional, informed recommendations with confidence. Take a look at some real-world catalog and ILS integration examples.

The reason why, only with NoveList Select 
Our book experts identify great matches and then write up a reason why they made the match, helping readers decide if a book will be right for them. Our team is made up of people who are passionate about books and know what it takes to help readers. We sign our handcrafted recommendations because we want you to know about the people behind them. We care about the quality of every recommendation we make.
