Activity 9: Catalog Tips and Tricks

Showing searchers the links to the subject links is helpful as they often haven't seen that. I like the series links in the enhanced content although sometimes I encounter an item without the link. Linking to the KDL What's Next database somehow would be helpful -- this database is usually infallible for checking series' order: http://ww2.kdl.org/libcat/whatsnext.asp


The recommended reads or read-alike links often list items that SPPL doesn't own. Maybe there is a way to then link to recommend for purchase or only link to SPPL items.

Pointing out the School Library Journal review in the enhanced content usually is a good starting point for age level recommendations.
