Digging into the Product!

As a new librarian, Duncan Smith struggled with the fact that readers' advisory services were only as good as the individual librarian's memory and ability to read a wide range of genres. He thought there should be a database that would be a 'secret weapon' for keeping track of all the great books to recommend. In 1990, he talked Roger Rohweder and John Strickler into creating NoveList. In 1994, they sold their first copy. NoveList was an immediate hit with librarians and launched with 20,000 titles and 1,200 reviews. In 1999, EBSCO acquired NoveList from CARL. At that time, NoveList had just five employees. Today, NoveList is a division of EBSCO with more than 50 employees. Over 20+ years, the NoveList team has continued to innovate and develop solutions for readers' advisory, catalog enrichment, email newsletters, library marketing, and more. But, throughout it all, the core mission continues to be helping libraries help readers. https://www.ebscohost.com/novelist
