What do the terms in the word cloud signify?
The word cloud shows related terms to the original search terms. AquaBrowser Library compares the original search terms to the Non-Fiction Connection data and creates a "word cloud" of associations or overviews of areas of interest. These words are suggestions for discovering new information or to users come up with ideas for a new search. The word cloud includes the most relevant associations, foreign language translations, spelling variations, and synonyms. How often is Non-Fiction Connection updated and does it include forthcoming titles?
Once a month. Titles are profiled as they are reviewed, so if a title is reviewed three months pre-publication, it will be profiled at that time. How far back does coverage go?
1997. Older titles by popular authors, classics and titles that are part of a series were added to improve coverage. A future project will include further building our back list. Does Non-Fiction Connection include out of print titles?
Yes, since it is a readers’ advisory tool and the libraries using it may have many out of print titles on their shelves that their patrons might still be interested in. All editions -- in print and out of print -- are listed on the detailed title display screen. What are the system requirements to use Non-Fiction Connection?
