Catalog

The library catalog contains descriptions of books and media available for use in and/or check-out from the library.

Using the Catalog

Items may be located by searching the catalog by author, title, subject, ISBN, or call number. Type search terms into the search box and hit [Enter] to see a list of results. You may limit your search in a variety of ways by using Advanced Search. You can add modifiers to keywords (i.e., add "Chippendale" to the keyword "furniture"), search by publication year or by item type (book, videotape, mediaCD). Each item record will note the location and call number needed to find the item. If you need help, ask a librarian. To access the catalog, click on the link below.

Accessing Account Information

You can access your library account information in the catalog, which includes items checked out, due dates, fines accrued, item requests, and library blocks. Enter your Patron ID and Surname (last name) to view your account. To learn how to access your account information, click HERE.

Placing Items on Hold Online

Items which are currently checked-out may be placed on hold directly from the library catalog system. To learn how to place an item on hold online, click HERE.

Renewing Items Online

Most items may be renewed online for a period up to the renewal limit of that item type (i.e., books=2 renewals, videos=1 renewal). Items that have been placed on hold by another library user may not be renewed online. To learn how to renew items online, click HERE.
