Books added to the Knowledge Lab

[Rhody Trader]

We're very pleased to announce that Books have been added as the latest resource in the Knowledge Lab (http://www.trade2win.com/knowledge/books). This is one more tool members can use to expand their market and trading know-how. Each book is ratable and reviewable, so you can see what others have to say about it, or contribute your own impressions.

Enjoy!

Further to John's announcement, there is some clever functionality that you may not have been aware of:

1) Easily find related knowledge - Existing authors' of article who have also written books, have their books associated with them on their profile page. For example, if you go to the Larry Williams page here - http://www.trade2win.com/knowledge/people/famous traders/larry-williams then below the menu on the right hand side is 'Related Knowledge' and this lists all the articles he's published on T2W and the books he has written.

2) Browse by topic - If you're interested in finding a book on a particular topic of trading, all you need to do is go to that topic, say 'Forex' - http://www.trade2win.com/knowledge/forex and click the 'Books' tab - http://www.trade2win.com/knowledge/forex/books

As always we welcome feedback, so let us know what you think and how we can improve things.

Tomorrow, we'll be removing the old books review section, and also decommissioning the 'Book Listings' section - which are now both served by the Knowledge Lab.

Next targets on the KLab hit list, are Brokers and Guides - stay tuned!

wow, that must have been a mammoth task adding all those books!

is there a simple way for users to propose/add a new book to the "library"?

Well, we had a little bit of help from our friends over at Global Investor. So, it wasn't as bad as you might imagine. Still it's been a lot of work expanding the Knowledge Lab, and each new layer we added makes the whole much greater than the sum of its parts. Hopefully you'll agree the ability to click from article to author to book is pretty smart.
