Notes about the Schedule
Adult lists are released every month.
...
For the Loan Stars Jr. list, the schedule operates slightly differently:
...
Loan Stars Jr. releases six lists per year, or one every two months. This list is intended for younger audiences, including Fiction and Non-Fiction picture books, middle grade, and
...
Young adult titles.
Finally with LibraryData we will have the ability to produce specialty lists that will highlight particular titles
...
by Canadian contributors,
...
feature specific subjects, or
...
focus on regional lists. These lists are scheduled to be produced six times per year, once every two months, in the months when the Jr. list is not published.
