Updated: CABA/CABH (Children's Africana Book Awards)

While I added only two awards yesterday, the number has gone up to 158. Why? I did a check of all the awards and found that I hadn't noted a few. After a careful cross-check of the calender, search drop-down, and master award code list, I found two more. Had some health issues in Dec. 2018 and Jan. 2019. Sorry for the serious delays in updating. I will continue to look for errors. Please contact me when you find one (or more).

Records are 3,631. (I have read 1,409).  Main page has 239,624 visits; search page has 178,088 visits.

Appeared on Online Educator's Selected Links for December 15, 1998 saying that, "This highly developed search will definitely find a book for your student or child." 

Appeared in the December Education World Reviews saying that, "This is an important bibliographic site" and "a great place for teachers and librarians to  put together quality individualized reading lists for students and classes." 

Appeared in Travel the Net  in the article, "Are We There Yet?"  Dated December 9th, 1998. 

On December 22nd, Rockbridge County High School Library Media Center in  Lexington, VA asked to link to the database.  Click "What's New"

Added to SSCED - Social Studies Center for Educator Development on their Web-Based Resources page.

The site was recommended on Nov. 18th by Kay Vandergrift on CHILD_LIT which prompted interest. 

Because of many requests, I have included at 14+ option in the age search.  These books are also in a 12+ search because a mature twelve- or thirteen-year-old could read them, but their mature themes and language make them very good for older teen-agers, as well.  However, I firmly believe that many, if not all, of the 12+ books can, and should, be read by older readers. 

The guestbook was inadvertently down November 12th -17th.  I only hope those who didn't get on those days, came back later to sign in for updates. 

The problem for Internet Explorer and AOL's browser was solved November 18th. Yay! 

Several sites have asked to link to the database.  My only requests are that they link to the main page, rather than one of the search pages, and to let me know the URL.  Some of these sites include: 

Wichita Falls Public Library Kids' Page
Winnipeg School Division No. 1, Library Media ServicesReading

Main page has 3,611 visits; search page has 2,123 visits; keyword search page has 580 visits. People are starting to sign the guestbook and give me feedback, for which I am grateful. 

I found there is a problem for Internet Explorer and AOL's browser doing the form page search of the database, though they can do the keyword. I'm hoping that problem will be solved shortly. I reinstated the reverse in the year sort, so the most recently published books appear first, and year delimiting, which was recently lost in an ISP crash. 

Part of the great increase in hits and interest during the last weekend of October can be attributed to appearing in the Scout Report (Oct. 30, 1998). But I am also now on Yahoo (after a long delay), Kathy Schrock's Guide for Educators, and The Internet Public Library. On 11/6/98 this site was chosen as site of the week at Children's Book Central. Added to Digital Librarian's latest links.
