This short module is NOT a tutorial. It is a step-by-step presentation of one kind of search to provide a quick start to NoveList!

Consider This Scenario...
My mother really enjoys books by Carolyn G. Hart because they are not violent or racy. Can you help me find some other "gentle" mysteries like Hart's?

1-Minute NoveList will show you how to:

  • Check NoveList to see if there is an Author Read-alike.
  • Search the database for similar books like Carolyn G Hart's (or your favorite) if there isn't an Author Read-alike. This includes:
    • Select the type of search you need (For this example, Find a favorite author).
    • Enter the author's name to bring up all the titles by that author (e.g., carolyn g hart).
    • Select one of the titles that was a favorite to view its title record (e.g., April Fool Dead).
    • View the clickable subject headings and click the "cozy mystery" subject heading. Click the Subject Search button.
NoveList will retrieve titles with the subject heading(s) you have selected to help you find your next book.

When you're ready, click the Next button to view the scenario and its step-by-step solution using NoveList.
