For this week’s question, we look at a genre that is quickly becoming as popular as old mainstays like Mysteries and Science Fiction. Having personally come across patrons who are looking for books in this area, I created an “Inspirational” section during my time at Maxville and will soon enough be doing the same for Graham. But your branch may not have such a section, so how do we help patrons looking for these types of books? Please submit any sources you have for lists of authors, titles and series and just guides in general that would be of assistance. Please give us your thoughts!

Question #21: Where can I find information on books in a series (children's, teen and adults)?
This week's question is closely related to last week's question, but includes books whose series are already at an end (which opens up the source possibilities to hardcopy sources). I'm particularly interested in hearing about children and teen book resources. Please give us your thoughts!

Question #20: Where can I find the latest and upcoming titles by a particular publisher or author?
Obviously, we're going to be looking strictly at web resources for this one, but I imagine there are other ways to find this info other than visiting individual publisher and author websites. Any ideas? Please give us your thoughts!

Question #19: Where can I find Read-a-likes?
In terms of reader recommendations, there is an embarrassment of riches on the JPL site. Not only do we have old standbys like Novelist, but we also have the newly christened "Personalized Booklist" service, which is powered by real JPL librarians! Do you have a favorite method for looking for read-a-likes (whether for patrons or yourself)? Please give us your thoughts!
