Loan Stars is a readers’ advisory tool that allows library staff across Canada to collaboratively select their favourite forthcoming titles. Votes and optional reviews are captured in CataList, and reported monthly by the Loan Stars team.
The program is run by BookNet Canada with support from the Canadian Urban Libraries Council (CULC), the British Columbia Library Association (BCLA) Readers’ Advisory Committee, the Ontario Library Association (OLA) Readers’ Advisory Committee, library vendors, independent Canadian publishers, multi-national publishers, and more.
