Do your students ever wonder which book is the next in a series? The Mid-Continent Public Library does an amazing job of organizing and tracking juvenile series and sequels. It allows you to search by series title, series subject, book title, and author. MCPL manages to stay really current with this database which is no easy feat! If you're ever looking for "what's next" in a chilren's series, this is the site to bookmark.
Mid-Continent Public Library Juvenile Series and Sequels
Hooray! I have often picked up a series and inadvertently started in the middle. This would be a great resource to see what the first book is before starting out.
ReplyDeleteMany of my 9th grade students have this trouble. We have a newly started library, and many of my students have picked up books that are not the first in the series. By using this tool, we will know what books still need to be purchased in the series for our avid reading 9th graders.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to know this service exists at MCPL. Honestly when I go to their website I have problems finding books that are in a series. Is there a certain way to get in? Maybe in the advanced portion? I have been reading a series from Karen Kingsbury and when I try to find the next book I usually have to look in side the cover. Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteJust a reminder that this resource is for juvenile books in a series, not for adult books. I think that will explain why you were having trouble finding what you were looking for. Thanks!
