WEEK 6: BUILDING BASE KNOWLEDGE (GENRES)  Assignment 1

STOP YOU'RE KILLING ME
Because we have so many mystery readers in White Marsh and because I don't read mysteries it was really important for me to find a good recommendation site. This site is absolutely everything you need to know about mysteries in one place-covers 4100 authors and 46,000 titles.

One of the most useful features is the listing of series in chronological order. Will use this lots. The many indexes like location, job, and diversity will help with identifying a title that a customer can not remember. Tried out the genre index and found that there is a sub-heading for young adults. This will be very useful when finding a title for Mystery assignment for  middle school and beginning high school.

Read-alikes has 18 different categories. Author read-alikes still a work in progress.

Really glad I was introduced to this--will use it a great deal. In fact have already used it twice with customers.
