April News from NoveList

Quick Print and Other Enhancements Coming Soon!

We have been busy gathering feedback about the new NoveList interface from our users and are working hard to bring you some enhancements so that NoveList can better serve your needs.

#1. Easier Printing:

A number of you have requested that we add the ability to print directly from the Result or Series List. We have made this a high priority for our development team and plan for this enhancement to be available in early May. With this enhancement you will be able to select a Quick Print link from the Result or Series List display to access a printer-friendly version of your list. Using the Quick Print function will significantly reduce the number of steps it takes to print your list, and it will also reduce the number of pages needed. If you would like more printing options, you will still have the ability to go through your folder and the Print Manager to print your list.
Here is how the Quick Print function will work:
1. Perform your search to pull up the Result or Series List that you want to print.
2. Click the Quick Print link to the right of the Sort By drop-down menu.
3. If your browser's Print window does not automatically display, click the Print icon on your browser toolbar and select Print from your browser's File menu.

#2. Additional Enhancements:

In addition to the Quick Print functionality, we are also bringing you several other enhancements based on your feedback:
• Newest Features Added. Want to know what Author Read-alikes or other features have been added recently to NoveList? You can now find all the new feature content at the "What's New" link in the Spotlight section of the homepage. This "What's New" area will be updated regularly to bring the newest NoveList features to your fingertips.
• Browsing by alpha link for an author's last name. In the previous version, you could browse features such as Author Read-alikes and Book Discussion Guides by clicking an A – Z link to jump to an author's last name. We are currently in the process of grouping these features by author last name, so that users can quickly and easily browse straight to the author they are looking for. We expect this enhancement to be available by early May.
• Easier navigation to most recent What We're Reading postings. We will significantly reduce the number of clicks it takes to navigate the What We're Reading postings. This enhancement will be available by early May.
• Ability to enlarge book jacket images. We understand that many users do like to look at the book cover when selecting their next read, so we will be adding the ability to enlarge book jacket images. This enhancement will allow you to select the image from the title detail record to view the enlarged book cover. We expect this enhancement to be available in early May.
We are also working on fine-tuning our search capabilities to help you find what you need much faster and more easily. We expect that the performance of the Basic Search bar will be enhanced in early May.
