ALA’s Booklist Online and Baker & Taylor collaborate on unique collection development tool

Ordering selected materials is now easier for libraries due to a partnership between Booklist Online and Title Source™ 3 from Baker & Taylor. Booklist Online is a powerful collection development tool offering more than 120,000 recommended-only reviews of adult, youth, media, and reference titles, with more than 8,000 new reviews added each year. Title Source 3 is Baker & Taylor’s comprehensive online collection development tool that offers users customizable title selection features and efficient ordering capabilities.

As a result of their collaboration, a "one-click" transfer of selected titles from Booklist Online to Title Source 3 is now possible, without ever having to navigate out of Booklist Online. This provides libraries with an exciting new method of purchasing key titles and provides a level of efficiency never before available. For more information about Booklist Online, please contact OCLC Eastern at 1-800-543-4599, ext. 1200.

Booklist Online is an irresistible book review site and a powerful collection development and readers’ advisory tool serving libraries, library patrons, and book lovers. Complementing and expanding on Booklist magazine from the American Library Association, Booklist Online delivers highly searchable and creatively linked reviews, columns, and features—all designed to help users find exactly the right book.
