BadgerLink can now connect your library’s catalog to NoveList and NoveList K-8!

When browsing NoveList or NoveList K-8 for a book title, it can be frustrating for your users to find just the right book, only to discover it’s not available in your library or library system. Now, NoveList and NoveList K-8 have the capability to connect to your library catalog so users can see if a book title is available at your library directly within the NoveList interface.

How it works:

BadgerLink works with EBSCO to connect your BadgerLink account to your library catalog. After the connection is set up, users who authenticate into your library or school’s BadgerLink account can see catalog records in NoveList and NoveList K-8.

Get started:

Contact Us.

The BadgerLink Team will compile the account information you need and give you contact details for requesting this connection from EBSCO.

You’ve always been able to search NoveList for great reading recommendations, but with the addition of two major new features, it is easier than ever to browse.

Now when you use the Super Search, you will use a more visually appealing interface, have more search options, and also search more BadgerLink resources!

Go to https://badgerlink.dpi.wi.gov/supersearch and start your search! Contact BadgerLink if you have any questions.

Just a reminder that after June 30th Searchasaurus, Kids Search, and Student Research Center will no longer be available.

Instead of using these student interfaces, you can use the 3 new Explora interfaces (Explora for Elementary Schools, Explora for Middle and High Schools, and Explora for Everyone). Explora uses the same great EBSCO databases that you've used to, but with a new and improved interface.

American Doctoral Dissertations

EBSCO's American Doctoral Dissertations, 1933-1955 includes nearly 100,000 dissertations from 1933 through 1955, and is a full image copy of the original print index Doctoral Dissertations Accepted by American Universities. The content in this database represents the only comprehensive record of dissertations accepted by U.S. universities during that period of time.

Coming Soon!

Libraries and schools will be able to link directly to age-appropriate image and video collections, interactive resources, and learning games from Britannica School.
