Description: | whichbook.net is a completely new way for readers to choose books. It combines the reader development expertise of Opening the Book with innovative software from Applied Psychology Research to give readers an enjoyable and intuitive way to find books to match their mood. Instead of starting from the overwhelming choice of books available, whichbook.net starts from the reader, and enables each individual to build the elements of that elusive 'good read' we are all looking for but don't quite know how to define. Readers can experiment with 12 mood choices or look for books by setting, character or plot. The whichbook.net database has over 1500 fiction and poetry paperback titles written or translated into English and published since 1995. When readers make their choice of settings whichbook.net searches for books that meet those requirements and returns them as Best, Good and Fair matches. Book entries have a reader comment and an extract from the book. Readers are able to link from whichbook.net to their chosen public library service. If the library authority has a web OPAC there is a direct link. Authorities with a Talis web OPAC have a deep link that goes direct to the author/title level in the catalogue. The project is aiming to create deep links to all other web OPAC systems in the coming year. | Source: | MichaelUKProject | Identifier: | sdx:www.michael-culture.org.uk:80:pub-uk |
