Our library service is trying to bring back the Reader’s Advisor aspect of public librarianship. Not a bad thing is it? So as an aid to me, here’s a couple of RA related links that may come in useful. I want to credit Rebecca Blood of What’s In Rebecca’s Pocket? for leading me to these links.
For locating books set in specific locations, try out Bibliotravel. Here you can enter the name of a city, and you’ll retrieve a list of books set in that particular location. I tried it with my home city of Canberra (Australia) but only got one result
Debbie’s Idea (and a fine one it is), can assist with finding the first book of an author for a person to read. It also lists the ones that are not recommended for the first time reader to the author.
What Should I Read Next is useful for finding, uh, what you should read next.
Some of these may end up on my sidebar, some may not. I suppose it all depends on how useful I eventually find them, and whenever I get around to customising this blog some more.
