Thanks Steven....We may want to add these links somewhere on AJL's bibliography bank page...as added resources?

At Goodreads, clicking on the book's link takes you to Goodread's page for the book, showing all of the members' book reviews for it. Yesterday, I found out that Worldcat also has a list creation section. When you click on the book's hyperlink there, it shows you which OCLC libraries have holdings of that book. Lists may be searched at https://www.worldcat.org/webservices/root/search/lists?listquery= and there are already lists for Jewish, Israel, and Holocaust books. There's even a Sydney Taylor Book Awards list at https://www.worldcat.org/profiles/ccicchetti/lists/3070440 listing 34 books published between 1969 and 2007. A complete SBTA list would be more helpful (especially since the 2012 winners were just announced yesterday), but there's no reason why one of us can't just build our own SBTA list there (as well as lists of other types of Judaica books). While AJL's bibliography bank is an excellent and better-organized resource, I think these 3 websites have the potential to supplement our "bank" by pointing us to additional works.
