Library Catalog -- We're Moving!

Actually, the term is 'migrating'. We are saying goodbye to Athena & hello to InfoCentre. Why??? you ask, because I know we were all so attached to our first online library catalog.

We were bored? No, that can't be it. Oh, yes, I remember...Athena will no longer be improved & we didn't want a library catalog that was so last century.

So, if you can't get to the library catalog today, no worries, you will tomorrow & it will be new and improved.

If you have and questions or need to renew a book, please call us: 441-2200 x1227.

Finding a Novel to Read Just got Easier!

Here's a another way to find the novel you want to read.

Earlier this summer I showed you Bowker's Fiction Connection (they do the Books in Print Database).

There's a new website created by OCLC (they bring us the WorldCat library database) called, Fiction Finder. You can browse for a book to [Photo]read using the Subject Clouds or search by genres, characters (real & fictional), settings (real & imaginary) or awards. AND it gets better.... Once you've found the book you want to read, since you are using a part of the WorldCat library catalog, all you have to do is click on

Find Any Edition or

Find This Edition

to locate the book in your local library. (OK, I'm trying not to say, "Neat" or "Cool").
