Bowker's New Readers' Advisory Fiction Resource

Bowker Proudly Presents...

FICTION CONNECTION

Dear GlobalBooksInPrint.com subscriber:

Beginning next week, the homepage and fiction room of GlobalBooksInPrint.com will feature a new readers' advisory resource that is available to all GlobalBookInPrint.com customers. Fiction Connection http://63.170.31.191:81/CT00072601MjQ4.HTML, an easy-to-use tool which will allow you to connect readers to titles you know they’ll love, is a complimentary enhancement with your GlobalBooksInPrint.com subscription. Now you can confidently recommend similar titles with the click of a mouse! Please Note: Fiction Connection includes only US titles.

Fiction Connection is designed for use by you, your staff, patrons, and customers. The friendly interface allows users to enter any number of different search criteria (including title, author, ISBN, series, topic, bestseller lists, media mentions, awards, and more) to reveal a suggested reading list based on their interests. Browsing by topic, genre, setting, character, location, and timeframe is also available. Users can read summaries, reviews, and details about titles recommended and suggestions can be printed or e-mailed for later review.

Users will be able to enter Fiction Connection through links on the GlobalBooksInPrint.com homepage and fiction room, a separate link on your website, or remotely through a referral URL. In the event that you would like to set up a web page to link directly to Fiction Connection that differs from a page or URL already used for GlobalBooksInPrint.com, please contact Tech Support for additional assistance via e-mail at techsupport@bowker.com or by telephone at (800) 323-3288, option #3. Otherwise, your regular username and password or IP authentication will allow you to enter the product.


On March 7th, at 2 pm EST, a live online training session via WebEx will be given by Fiction Connection Associate Project Manager Melissa Kuzma, MLS. This session will provide in-depth coverage of the features and functionality of the product. Sign-up today by emailing orderinfo@bowker.com.
