What is the Online Catalog?
It is an online database that catalogs all the books in our library. It is also called the OPAC. It allows anyone with internet access to easily:
-
find books
-
search suggested reader's advisory lists
-
reserve books
-
write book reviews
-
suggest books for purchase
How do I search the Catalog (OPAC)?
Use the following search terms when…
Keyword: you don’t know the title but know a concept you want to search
Title: you know the title of the book
Author: you’re unsure of the title but you know the author’s name
Subject: you are researching a topic and don’t know the title or author of a book
Series: when searching for a known book series
How do I reserve a book for pickup?
Sign-in to your account on the catalog
*Username: Student ID #
*Password: Year you were born (ex. 2001)
Search the catalog and when you find a book you want
*Click on the book title
*Click on Reserve
I will email you when your books are available for the next curbside pickup day.
