CI 616: Literature for Adolescents

NoveList Plus is a reader's advisory database, which means it is designed to provide book recommendations for librarians and library patrons. Keep in mind that the books in the database are not linked in any way to Ablah Library's catalog, so NoveList cannot show you what books are available in Ablah Library. Once you've found a book title in NoveList you're interested in, you will have to search in the Library Catalog or the other book-lending platforms available through the Kansas State Library to find a copy you can check out.

NoveList is an excellent resource if you want to find books that fit specific criteria. Here are some of its features:

• You can search for books using appeal terms (what readers enjoy about a book), themes (popular and recurring plot elements), time periods, genres, and specific awards (so you can see all the award winners for each one).
• There are" Keeping up" pages for genres to help you get up to speed quickly. I recommend you check out the ones for YA Lit, Award-Winning YA Lit, and Diversity in Teen Fiction.
