Have just had a look at the enCompassCulture site and found it is a site for book enthusiasts.
This site offers five ways to browse, reading groups, author interviews, readers' quiz and also a reader in residence - Susan. Susan writes reviews, has a 'book of the month', blogs and has a newsletter.
For readers' advisory, using the readalike titles/authors function would be a great way to suggest to customers what their next read could be - similar to what they have just been reading.
Library staff would find this site useful to keep up with what Britain and the world are reading. It was nice to see the British Council have created this site.
Yes, I would promote this site to our customers, along with GoodReads. It is another way to keep us informed on available literature.
