YoungNew Database Expands Access to <i>The Storybook Home Journal</i>http://alyoung.com/News/2008-07-05-New_Article_Index.htmlThe Storybook Home Journal, as well as features published in various media by Al and Nancy Young since 1981. This initial release of the look-up tool contains information on 531 articles accessible through a hierarchical list of 318 topics.

A link to the database appears near the top of the site's home page, under the heading: Article Database: Insights For A Richer Life.

The Storybook Home Journal, now in its 8th year of publication, accounts for 473 of the article descriptions in the database. The other 57 articles range from transcripts of Nancy's speeches, published by Deseret Book Company, to Al's series of columns in professional journals.

"Our aim," explained Nancy Young, "Is to provide a service to our subscribers and to site visitors who want to know more about the content of The Storybook Home Journal as well as the content of the site."

Each article description gives the title of the article, the author's name, an article summary, a word count, an illustration count, and publication information. A link from each Journal-article description takes visitors to the issue of The Storybook Home Journal containing the article. For articles published on the site, a link takes the visitor straight to it. Other articles are simply listed with complete bibliographic information. The detail page for each article also provides help with bibliographic citation.

Of the 318 topics in the database, 48 topics focus on house and home, 45 pertain to arts and crafts. Included among the topics is a list of 97 authors and illustrators who are either the subject or the creator of an article or illustration accoompanying an article. "The growing list is becoming a Who's Who of fine literature and illustration," said Nancy.

Gardening accounts for 19 topics. Reading lists, music, money management, creativity and problem solving, giftedness, childhood, career, and numerous other topics complete the list.

In addition to serving the needs of subscribers and visitors, the database will play a roll in planning content for both The Storybook Home Journal and alyoung.com.

The tool will be updated with each issue of the Journal. Articles published elsewhere by the artists and writers at Al Young Studios will also be added to the database, along with information about articles published on alyoung.com. "The database provides a topical guide to the site," said Nancy, "Which now consists of several thousand files. Neither the site map nor a site-search capability is really adequate anymore."
