Database Review- Book Psychic
I
have been perusing Book Psychic which is an optional database on our website
SLPL.org. I wanted to be familiar with
this database for our patrons. It’s easy to use and easily accessible once
you’re on our library catalog webpage. I simply began clicking and rating books
I have read and quickly received a notification that I already have
recommendations. I am an Anne Rice fan and really like vampires and the
supernatural. With that being said I noticed that as I was rating different
titles from various genres the books that popped up for me to rate were almost
all related to vampires. I appreciate that the database figured out how much I
like vampires, however it would have been nice to continue having more varied
options for books to rate. I think due to its easy use and accessibility to our
patrons it’s a great place to start for someone who doesn’t know what they want
to read next. Though I believe it’s more fun to ask a librarian…but that’s my
opinion.
