Bibliotheca, a leading library solutions provider, and NoveList®, a division of EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO), have announced an exclusive agreement that revolutionizes the library checkout experience by integrating NoveList's expertly curated book recommendations into Bibliotheca's self-service solutions.
For nearly three decades, libraries have relied on NoveList as their trusted source for expert book suggestions catering to every type of reader. NoveList's team of book professionals diligently catalog and tag titles, resulting in highly relevant search results and recommendations that go beyond popular bestsellers or loosely related suggestions.
This groundbreaking partnership extends NoveList's recommendation expertise into the Bibliotheca self-service experience, empowering library patrons to easily discover their next perfect read at the point of checkout. Additional book recommendations based on the items being checked out will be displayed, allowing patrons to explore related titles. They can place recommendations on hold, or print or email the list for future reference.
Bibliotheca now stands as the sole library solutions provider to offer NoveList's renowned read-alike recommendations exclusively at checkout. NoveList's recommendations are accessible on any Bibliotheca solution running quickConnect software, including the selfCheck and remoteLocker self-service solutions, as long as the customer maintains an active subscription to NoveList Select.
With this innovative collaboration, Bibliotheca and NoveList are transforming the library checkout experience, ensuring that library patrons have convenient access to personalized book recommendations that match their reading preferences. By seamlessly integrating NoveList's expertise into Bibliotheca's self-service solutions, libraries can enhance reader engagement, circulation rates, and ultimately foster a deeper connection between readers and the written word.
