and titles of interest. In addition, three powerful search techniques allow
readers to look for books by entering descriptive terms that appear in subject
headings, reviews, and other fields in the title records. NoveList version 4
introduced Advanced Natural Language searching and Boolean searching, and added
full-text searching of reviews to Describe a Plot. Users can browse
theme-oriented book lists at every reading level through Explore Fiction, and
