Are your customers or patrons always saying, "I loved this book and I just don't know what to read next"? Fiction books can easily be identified using Fiction Connection™, Bowker's comprehensive readers' advisory tool that features AquaBrowser® technology. This online product allows customers, patrons or librarians to search for similar titles by entering the title of a book they already know they enjoy, or by browsing by characteristics like location, topic, character, genre, time frame, or setting. Based on these criteria, the user is then provided with a comprehensive list of suggested reading that has characteristics matching their original search criteria.

The technology powering Fiction Connection was developed by Netherlands-based technology company Medialab, using their AquaBrowser software and featuring their signature word cloud. The data displayed within Fiction Connection is pulled from fiction profiles developed by Syndetic Solutions™, which identify key traits and characteristics that define a particular title.
