Request ARCs using NetGalley
NetGalley is an online digital galley provider
...
that connects professional readers (such as library staff, media, bloggers, etc.) with publishers' forthcoming titles for promotional purposes. NetGalley offers free accounts for different types of readers, and after creating your NetGalley account, you too can "read, review, & recommend" all sorts of books (and earn a few badges!). You must fill out the required "bio" and list your favourite
...
genres in order to make requests.
...
CataList supports a direct link to title request pages on NetGalley when ARCs for the title are available – but the two products are distinctive services and require separate logins. Before you can request ARCs on NetGalley, you need to sign up for a NetGalley account.

Loan StarsLoan Stars is a readers advisory tool that allows library staff across Canada to recommend upcoming titles they deem essential for Canadian library systems. Each month, top 10 list(s) are released and the top picks are added to seasonal catalogues on CataList. If you visit the Loan Stars "Monthly catalogue" section, you will see a selection of eligible Loan Stars titles that are divided by publication month and genre. These are produced four to five months before publication date and are continuously available until the book's Loan Stars month is announced. Please note, you will only see the "Recommend" buttons if you are logged in with a library account. |

Quick searchThe simplest way to find a specific title is by using the quick search box at the top of all CataList pages. You can search using title, author, ISBN, publication date, format, publisher, catalogue name, or even subject. You will be presented with a list of the relevant results, which you can further narrow by using the filters on the left-hand side. You can use the drop-down options above the list of results to change the sort order, expand the number of results that return per page, or export your search results to an Excel file. If you want to use the custom catalogue features in CataList to collect and organize titles for future reference, you can also select items and send them to your custom catalogues! If you'd rather browse for titles, there are several ways to do that as well. |

Browsing by catalogueDifferent organizations create different types of catalogues. If you're more interested in finding titles that are produced or represented by a particular organization, or are part of a special program, you can browse by catalogue! These catalogues tend to house titles from many different publishers. You can always see the most recently released catalogues from your home page. You can also see titles that have been added after the catalogues were published and may otherwise have slipped into a pre-existing catalogue unnoticed under "Recent Drop-ins." You can discover what's releasing this week, in upcoming months for all CataList publishers, or a click the favourites tab to find new titles and catalogues from your list of favourite publishers. Quick reports can be run by choosing your desired month from the drop-down. The results can then be exported into the format of your choice. For upcoming titles, the best places to browse are through our NetGalley and Loan Stars catalogues. Our NetGalley catalogues are updated weekly and list all titles that are available on both CataList and NetGalley. |
