Simply go to EBSCOhost at http://search.epnet.com/ and use our User ID and Password (found online on our database sheet) and click on NoveList. Here's a tip: if you want to search by genre, simply type GN (in capitals) followed by the genre in the search box, ie. GN Historical Fiction, and check off teen/adult.
