Genrefy for Discovery.

Why Genrefy?

Create a library space that gives students easy access to books they love with the ability to explore new genres with ease; thus, freeing you up to provide greater assistance to students in need.

Watch how one school transformed its library through genrefication to better support the needs of today’s students, which resulted in increased circulation.

“I would absolutely recommend Follett’s genrefication services to other schools! If you have a clear vision of the reading experience you want to offer your students but aren’t entirely sure how to make it a reality, the Follett team will help you navigate the logistics to ensure that your dream comes to fruition.”

Our Solution

We assembled a team of 27 experienced librarians already using genres in their libraries. This team, alongside our internal team of librarians, evaluated more than a thousand genrefied libraries using our custom genre solutions. We then took these learnings and created a streamlined way to help bring genrefication to our customers. Together, we identified our collection of Follett Genres, Titlewave enhancements, Follett Destiny^® support, colorful labels and signage, Do-It-Yourself Genre Starter Kits, genreteam@follettlearning.com for support, and so much more.

Titlewave Tips

Genre support wouldn’t be complete without Titlewave features to help you be successful.

Set up your genre cataloging and processing profile with Follett, and Titlewave will automatically suggest genres as you build your lists. You’re the expert in your library. You’re always in control — if Titlewave’s suggestion isn’t the best fit for your library, it’s easy to change genres.

We’ll walk you through the process of setting up your profile. Contact your sales consultant to get started.

When building your lists, you can easily Analyze by Genre Assignment to ensure genres are assigned to titles exactly how you imagine them on your shelves. This way, you’ll get the best possible out-of-box experience when your books arrive.
