National Outdoor
Book Awards: Information for Web Masters
A special
service is available to website developers. In return for a link
to the NOBA site, web masters are welcome to use our reviews and cover
scans on their own sites. A number of websites--large and small--have
taken advantage of this offer, featuring NOBA winners and selling winning
books through cooperative affiliate programs offered by Amazon.com, Barnes
& Noble.com, and others.
Other
than providing links to the publisher's (or author's website), we purposely
do not link books from the NOBA website to Internet bookstores. We
do this for two reasons. The first reason is that we are a non-profit
organization devoted primarly to providing educational services.
And secondly, we believe that our public educational mission is enhanced
when other websites carry information on winning books.
If
you decide to feature one or more winning books on your site, we encourage
you to get on our media email list. Our email list is confidential
and not shared with any other sources. We send out only three press
releases per year. One release announces the opening of nominations
for the new year's program--and the other two announce the winners (one
in the fall immediately after the judge's decisions are released to the
press, and a follow-up release in the spring which re-caps the winners).
To get on the mailing list, send an email to NOBA chair Ron Watters at
wattron@isu.edu.
Links
to reviews and cover scans of winning books are found on the NOBA home
page. Downloadable press releases and high resolution scans can
be accessed from the Media
Information Page.
