Homework Helper–Finding Participation Books

October 19, 2009

Participation books provide visual, tactile, or audio elements that encourage the child to explore.  Participation books include things such as flaps to lift, components to manipulate, sounds to make, or textures to touch. Pop-up books are a subset of participation books.

To find pop-up books:

1. Open the HBLL homepage.
2. Select “Library Catalog” under Unique Collections at BYU
3. Below the main search bar choose “Advanced Keyword Search”
4. Once in the advanced search, go to the drop-down menu labeled location and select “Juvenile Collection Locked Case”
5. Go up to the drop-down menu labeled genre/form and type “pop-up books.” Search.
6. The newest books will list listed first. To find older titles, use the term “toy and movable books.” Select the titles you would like see and take the list of titles and call numbers to the reference assistant in 4720 HBLL to have the books retrieved for use.

To find other participation books, consult A to Zoo: Subject Access to Children’s Picture Book (7^th ed.) Call number: JUVENILE REFERENCE PN 1009.5 .P5 X56 2006. Using the Subject Guide, consult the term Participation to find a list of books. Take the titles you wish to find to the HBLL homepage, and do a title search to find the call number.
