The correct answer is TRUE. You can access all the electronic resources subscribed by the Osterhout Free Library, free of charge from the comfort of your home. All you need is a Luzerne County Library System card. If you live in a Luzerne County the card is free and it is valid at all the branches of the Luzerne County Library System.

Answer to the Database Trivia question # 8

The correct answer is "NoveList." Some of you voted for "NextReads", which is not a wrong answer. However, NextReads works differently.

In order to find the similar titles to Harry Potter Series using Novelist, you can follow the following steps:

• Go to POWER Library
• Click on NoveList
• Search for Harry Potter series
• Click on the first title, "Harry Potter and Sorcer's Stone"
• Click on the "Find Similar Books" tab
• Set the limits
• Click on search
• You will get the list of all the books in that series as well as books by different authors
• Click on the title called, " Wizard Named Nell"
• Check the availability of this title by clicking on the link called, "Look for this title in the Library Catalog."

On the other hand, Nextreads is an e-mail based service that allows one to subscribe to different newsletters that suggest different tiltles on the topic. Also, it allows one to check the availability in Access PA which does not necessarily shows the availability in your library collection.
