Earlier this month, I posted the following as a TARGET:
"We're looking for a web site (or print resource) which can be used to find
out all, or most, of the awards a given book has won. I have all the awards
sites bookmarked, but they do not enable me to search in this "direction."
We'd like to be able to search for a book title and then find the honors it
has received."
HIT: Following are suggestions I received:
VENDOR WEBSITES (EACH ALLOWS A CERTAIN LEVEL OF FREE ACCESS SO YOU CAN GET
SOME AWARD INFORMATION:
Follett's Titlewave http://titlewave.com/
Baker & Taylor (which we subscribe to) www.btol.com
BIBZ.com which is a Brodart site (for which I now have a password for the
demo) www.bibz.com
A free site, with somewhat limited coverage, is the California Department of
Education at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/rl/ll/ap/litsearch.asp
None of the sites is perfect - sometimes I could not find a book listed.
And all sites are somewhat limited in what awards are listed. But your
suggestions are a good start. Thank you Barbara, Jacqueline, Jean, and
Janice and anyone else who responded!
