My apologies. I made a large typo when I submitted this a few minutes ago.

When readers use a 3M SelfCheck Station, they will be shown other titles that may be of interest that their library has. They can place holds on those items, receive email recommendations or print the recommendations on their receipt. The partnership not only serves the reader, but it promotes the library services as well.

NoveList and 3M Expand Readers’ Advisory to Include the
Check-Out Experience
~ NoveList Reading Recommendations Will Be Part of 3M™ SelfCheck™ Experience ~

IPSWICH, Mass. — June 25, 2013 — A new partnership between NoveList and 3M will feature NoveList reading recommendations as part of the 3M™ SelfCheck™ experience. Readers will encounter NoveList’s high-quality recommendations when they check out using a 3M SelfCheck station. By expanding the reach of readers’ advisory services to include the self-check out experience, NoveList and 3M have created an innovative user experience that has never before been available to readers.

Readers will find that the check out process is still very straightforward, but now as readers check out items they will be shown other titles that might interest them (and that are owned by their library). Users can choose to place a hold on featured items at the station, receive recommendations by email for review later, or print recommendations on their receipt.

While this partnership creates a unique experience for readers, it also promotes library services. A single check out transaction is turned into an opportunity for future interaction as it encourages readers to return to the library for more and readers will discover more of the library’s collection, with recommendations based on the titles they already like. Additionally, it reinforces the idea that the library is more than a book delivery service – it is a book discovery one as well.

Skip Driessen, 3M Library Systems Business Manager says the partnership will significantly enhance the process for patrons. "We're thrilled to be partnering with NoveList on our Recommended Read feature for the new SelfCheck QuickConnect Interface. Their experience and history in this area helps us to bring a first-rate product to libraries that will revolutionize the self check-out process."

Vice President of NoveList, Duncan Smith says this new partnership will expose readers to more of what the library has to offer and turn self-check into an entirely new experience. “Our partnership enables NoveList and 3M to deliver an innovative solution to the challenges facing libraries today. Working together we will transform self-check from being just a quick and efficient way for readers to borrow books to an experience that connects readers with more of what the library has to offer, including book discovery.”

Libraries must have purchased NoveList Select to enable this connection. Current NoveList Select customers can have it turned on at no charge. NoveList Select is the catalog enrichment component of NoveList readers’ advisory resources. This component pulls NoveList content into a library’s catalog. NoveList Select makes reading recommendations, series information, book discussion guides, Goodreads ratings and reviews, library newsletters and events available to library patrons from within the catalog record and now through self-check stations.

THE HAUNTING AND PARADISE TAXI (ISBN 9780615685434) is Cynthia Lynn's (member of Authors Guild) first novel. Her book is featured at the American Library Association's June 2013 Annual "Print Book Showcase" Combined Book's booth 2325. "Kirkus Indie Review" said, this book offers a measure of hope and that someone will come to help when you need them.

Author Cynthia Lynn's travel guides are in Libraries worldwide (WorldCat.Org) . Her education path (Rhode Island School Of Design and summa cum laude English BA) encouraged the imprint (Cynthia Lynn) publishing of this first novel (editor and cover designer). Librarians can be assured that THE HAUNTING AND PARADISE TAXI (ISBN 9780615685434) is a contemporary novel that resonates in this 21st century of pink slips that uprooted so many from familiar surroundings, and a page turner—the heroine, Clarissa Max pink-slipped from a mega city newspaper reporting career on her way to Miami to recoup a reporting career drives into a ditch then serendipitously lands in a small town in Central Florida where she encounters another kind destiny.

Said "Kirkus Indie Review" about THE HAUNTING AND PARADISE TAXI (ISBN 9780615685434), it is the mysterious Max, who haunts Clarissa's thoughts, and the reviewer recounts what many readers have found is an absorbing Cracker country tale that includes a love story and a haunting with a mystic connection—the ghostly Max refuses to enter the great beyond and Clarissa finds out that theirs is a joint destiny for another kind of beginning.
