Week 6: EnCompassCulture

This is a nice site to navigate and would have been a great help with Reader Advisory -- BUT .....
As of 1 November 2010 it was decommissioned! Great timing! So - yes - I would have used this site & recommended it to patrons.

I liked the ease of searching for exactly what you wanted. And the added feature of showing where you could obtain the books, anywhere in the world, with links to various websites. The Booklists were also great - for example "A Celebration of Indian Writing".

A shame it is now defunct, but as long as it is still available on-line it will be of use.
