Anonymous asked:

Is NoveList ever used in bookstores?

Hi anon! 

The vast majority of NoveList customers are libraries and schools. However, it’s totally possible that booksellers could use school or library access to NoveList while they’re on the job! Much like librarians, booksellers have tons of readers’ advisory expertise, but can always use support for genres and areas that are less familiar for them. (Please imagine a booksellers & librarians solidarity handshake meme here.)

If you’re a bookseller (or any other bookish pro) interested in a NoveList demo, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

[Image description: Against a blue backdrop, a headline in white text reads “Nonfiction that reads like fiction”. Underneath are book jacket images of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, In Cold Blood, Life Undercover, All Blood Runs Red, Catherine the Great, and Educated.]

After some careful curating, our metadata librarians have come up with a new and exciting genre in nonfiction books for adults — Nonfiction that reads like fiction! These are books that while grounded in fact, biography or memoir, create a reading experience much like reading a novel.
