Loan Stars is the readers' advisory tool that allows libraries across Canada to indicate popular upcoming titles. Using LibraryData, the library data aggregation service, the forthcoming titles with the most orders become Loan Stars top picks! Along with Adult and Junior lists, Loan Stars periodically releases lists identifying the top-ordered Canadian-authored titles as well as genre-specific lists.
To be eligible for top pick status, a book must be:
publishing for the first time;
forthcoming;
English-language;
on order at reporting libraries; and
listed in BNC CataList.
But how can your books become Loan Stars picks?
