Week Five: Assignment Two

According to Matt Keifer, Collection Development Coordinator at the Cockeysville Branch, we have quite a few customers who are interested in history books.  EarlyWord's categories links on the left of the home page offers a section on non-fiction - history that offers new and soon to be released selections.

As in most branches, popular fiction is always in demand in our branch.  Recently, the Baltimore Sun stopped publishing the New York Times Best Sellers list and started using The Ivy Bookshop, a local independent book store, as its source for best selling books.  As a result, several customers have come to the library in search of a copy of the New York Times list.  EarlyWord provides a link to several bestseller lists all in one place, which will continue to be useful for those looking for popular fiction.

Overall,  I think EarlyWord will continue to be a useful source of information about upcoming releases.  I have subscribed to the newsletter and look forward to being kept up to date on what is going on in the publishing world.
