The Novelist book recommendation tool you know and love is getting a makeover on June 16, 2025!
Here’s what’s changing:
- Re-designed interface to make it easier to use on both desktop and mobile.
- “My Dashboard” feature in the new NoveList replaces classic NoveList “Folders”.
- Some folders WILL automatically migrate to the new Novelist experience:
- Books, Lists and Articles saved to the “My Folders” section will migrate.
- Some folders, links, and searches WILL NOT migrate to the new NoveList experience:
- Search Alerts will not migrate. However, this feature is available in the new NoveList experience. If you wish to continue using search alerts, you can re-create them there.
- Persistent Links to Searches will not migrate.
- Folders created in the My Custom section will not migrate (you will have the opportunity to download your custom folders into the new NoveList experience between now and June 15, 2025. See the “Downloading MyEBSCO Custom Folders” section of this help page for instructions. Contact novelist@ebsco.com for assistance.
Note that these changes apply to both Novelist Plus and Novelist K-8 Plus offered on our eResources A-Z page (library card required to access from home).
If you aren’t familiar with Novelist, here’s your invitation to go check it out! You can use it to search for new and popular titles, books in a series, title/author/series readalikes and so much more. For the easiest search, try the Curated Lists. They’re located on the left side of the homepage and span all genres and age levels.
Check out this pdf tutorial for a how-to on the new interface.
Please let us know if you have any questions about how to use this or any other resource at the library. Happy reading!
