Task 7
www.goodreads.com provides catagories of popular lists that show covers and provides a place to rate the books, an opportunity to win books, and discussions on recently review books. I can see that this could be used for suggestions of reader's advisory staff help, or perhaps the patron would be interested in signing on to the site themselves.
Boulder Public Library site has tabs to find books which is useful. It shows popular lists broken down by some catagories such as Best Books of the 20th Century, Book was Better than the Movie, and Favorite Books from Childhood as well as genres, series,and nonfiction. Clicking on these catagories will bring up more catagories and they all show the book covers. I can see where many patrons would find this easier and more attractive to use than Novelist and would definately recommend it. I could do without the popup ads however.
