Are you stuck in a reading slump? Maybe you just finished your last five-star read and are now looking for another? Our online catalog – Enterprise – has a really cool feature called “Of Interest to Readers,” which allows you to seek out read-alikes with just a few clicks!
Using this feature is easy!
First, head on over to our online catalog. Use the drop down at the top of our main page – sailsinc.org – to select your home library’s Enterprise page. (Or simply scroll up to the top of this article once you’re done reading to access the dropdown menu!)
Next, type in the title of that last book you fell in love with. Enterprise will pull up a list of results – some physical materials and some digital downloads. The “Of Interest to Readers” tab only appears on a listing for a physical material, so use the tabs at the top of the results or the filters off to the side to navigate to a physical material listing for your title.
Once you have the item entry pulled up, you should see the tab “Of Interest to Readers.” Click on it.
The “Of Interest to Readers” tab features a range of information that can include:
- Information about the book and/or series
- More books by the author
- Read-alikes with active links to their listings in our catalog
- Librarian lists where this book appears
- Professional reviews and book awards
- Tags with active links that will pull up more books to browse
We hope this feature introduces you to new books you can fall in love with this February! We encourage you to reach out to your local library for more assistance with this feature if you need it.
