Of particular note are LibrarySpot and BookSpot LibrarySpot provides links to the web pages of public, K-12, academic, and other specialized libraries and a reference desk linking to reference works of all types. The site also links to sources of speeches, full-text articles, library associations, conferences and jobs, as well as some categories overlapping in part with BookSpot, such as sources of literary criticism. Among the offerings of BookSpot are links to best seller lists, pre-pub alerts, book club titles and read-a! likes as well as book reviews, book awards, poetry, and links to full text classics.
