FYI Friday – Novelist Plus Can Help Select Your Next Book!

Have you ever finished a book and then not known what you should read next, or how you should go about picking a title? Or wanted to find something similar to a novel you absolutely loved? Then you’re in luck, because the Novelist Plus database is a great readers’ advisory resource to help you with these exact situations.

Have you ever finished a book and then not known what you should read next, or how you should go about picking a title? Or wanted to find something similar to a novel you absolutely loved? Then you’re in luck, because the Novelist Plus database is a great readers’ advisory resource to help you with these exact situations.

In its own words, Novelist Plus is “a comprehensive readers’ advisory resource for fiction and nonfiction. With an intuitive interface and extensive proprietary content, NoveList Plus answers the question: What should I read next?” Once inside the database, you can enter a title into the search box and discover all sorts of information about it. In addition to a suggested list of similar titles you might like to read, Novelist also offers author read-alikes, published reviews of the book, and data such as genre, character, tone, writing style, and more. This tagged data is even linked, so that by clicking on something like “Genre: Adaptations, retellings, and spin-offs,” you will come up with a list of recommended books with this genre.novplus200

If you need assistance using the database, you can click the “Help” link at the top right of the screen for an extensive list of instructions.  Novelist Help

To access Novelist, visit the Library’s website at www.cshlibrary.org. On the right side of the page, under the “Find” column, click on the “Novelist Plus – Find the perfect book!” link. Log in with your CSH Library card barcode and password.NoveListPlus_ProductButton_200

Bonus: Keep an eye out for our monthly “If you liked [this book], then try one of these [other books]” displays! Using recommendations from Novelist Plus, we create a poster with six read-alikes for a currently popular book and hang it in the lobby of the Library. For those on the go, we also post the list on our twitter and facebook pages!

April’s list is for Elena Ferrante’s “My Brilliant Friend”:

FYI Friday: Placing a Book Purchase Request

Did you know? If you’re looking for a specific book and no library in either Suffolk or Nassau has it, you can ask the Cold Spring Harbor Library to consider purchasing it.

Did you know? If you’re looking for a specific book and no library in either Suffolk or Nassau has it, you can ask the Cold Spring Harbor Library to consider purchasing it.

Should you discover that the book you’re looking for is unavailable, talk to a librarian at the Information Services Desk either in person or via phone at 631-692-6820. The librarian will first look to borrow a copy from another library in either Suffolk or Nassau. If the book still isn’t available, you can ask the librarian to place a purchase request, so that the Library will consider ordering it.

request button

Following this, the Information Services Department will determine whether to buy the book, based on availability, price, and suitability for our collection. If it’s purchased, a hold will be placed on the title for you, and you will be notified when the book comes in.

FYI Friday: The Environmental Collection

The full name of the Library is, of course, the Cold Spring Harbor Library & Environmental Center. But did you know that the “Environmental Center” part derives from the Library’s large collection of environmental books?

When the Cold Spring Harbor Library needed to move from its former location on Goose Hill Road, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation offered to allow a new library to be built upon park land with the agreement that the Library would have a dedicated environmental collection. Thus the Cold Spring Harbor Library & Environmental Center came into being.

Enviro Books

Our Environmental Collection houses books on a variety of subjects related to the environment, environmentalism, and environmental science. These include works on solar energy, fracking critiques, guides to living a greener, more environmentally friendly life, and much more.

This collection is located in the Environmental Center, the round room connected to the lobby on the main level. Patrons may access the collection at any time, even when the room is being used as a study area or meeting room, and all are welcome to check out any non-Reference title.
