BOOK
Stalking the Wild Appeal Factor: Readers' Advisory and Social Networking Sites
[...] Melville Dewey gave library staff a system that separated all the reading material by subject area. Ike Pulver, of Shaker Heights (Ohio) Public Library, notes how wonderful it would be if we \"could classify books - fiction, especially - by 'feeling' rather than by subject, or adjectivally (big, fast, exciting, intricate, thought-provoking) instead of nominally (horse, houses, shops, satellites, cheese).\" Library staff are equipped with easy-to-use tools that help them organize their own reading and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses in reading areas.\\n Michael Stephens warns the world about \"technolust,\" that \"irrational love for new technology combined with unrealistic expectations for the solutions it brings,\" which will only lead to technostress over the amount and speed of the new tools on the Internet librarians feel they need to keep up with.18 GoodReads, LibraryThing, and Sh el fari aren't the only places readers are exploring for their next book.

The Minotaur maze
\"Every Saturday at noon precisely, the T. Middleton Nightingale City Library is transformed, and today Kelly, one of the library pages, arrives just in time to find herself inside the Labyrinth, confronting the Minotaur with Princess Ariadne; her fellow pages are nowhere in sight--and defeating the Minotaur is only the beginning, because other monsters of Greek mythology are also roaming the confusing corridors, and there seems to be no way out of this maze.\"--Provided by publisher.

Nordmeyer reports on the way in which a self-help group of Chicago-area readers' advisory librarians drew up criteria for public library readers' advisory Web sites, thus saving the rest of us a lot of work.

The lost Lenore
\"At T. Middleton Nightingale City Library, when the old, broken clock strikes twelve, the library is transformed into something out of an author's mind--and today the volunteer pages find themselves in the middle of Edgar Allan Poe's imagination where monsters lurk, and a raven is telling them to find Lenore if they want to restore the library to normal.\"--Provided by publisher.
BOOK
The final Frankenstein
\"Library page Baru Reddy loves horror stories so when the T. Middleton Nightengale City Library transforms into a ruined gothic cathedral complete with authors Mary Shelley, Ann Radcliffe, and Charlotte Brontèe, not to mention a host of zombie monks, he is not as alarmed as his fellow pages; he just needs to figure out a way to bring Mary Shelley's creation (made out of books, not body parts) to life to defeat the zombies--and who better to help than Ben Franklin, who is busy with his electricity experiments.\"--Provided by publisher.
