Transcript How do I use the card catalog? - Lourdes Library

http://lourdeslibrary.weebly.com
Click on the “SEARCH THE CATALOG” button located on the right hand
side of every page of the library website.
Once at the catalog page, simply enter your search terms in the
search box near the top of the page and hit “Search”. You can
search by title, author, subject or keyword.
You will then be taken to a page which shows all the itmes related to
your search terms located IN LOURDES LIBRARY. Notice the icons to the
left of each title which tell you the type of material you are looking at
(book, sound recording etc.). You can use the column on the right hand
side to narrow your search if you have too many results.
Once you have found the item you are looking for, click directly on the
underlined title.
This brings you to the full record of your item. Here you will find all the
specific information about the item you chose, including a brief
description of the book or movie. This information can take up a lot of
the screen, so to find out if the book is in the library, you will need to
scroll down until…
you get to the holding information.
When searching from the library
homepage, Lourdes Library will
always be at the top of the list.
The Call# column will
tell you where to find
the item on the library
shelves.
The “Status” column
lets you know if the
item is available or
not
Let’s say the search terms you type in don’t garner any results – don’t give up, there is
still a chance you can get the material from another of SELCO’s libraries.
If you get the “No results found” screen, click on the dropdown menu on the right hand
side and change “Lourdes High School” to “All locations.”
You will then be taken to a results page showing items from EVERY library in the SELCO
system. You borrow any of these books and they will be delivered (free of charge) to our
library usually within a week.There are two ways to order from another library:
#1 – Go to the circulation desk in the library and ask Mr. Haugen or Mrs. Oeth to request
the book for you (This is the easiest way, and we are more than happy to do so). -OR#2 – Click on the “Request First Available Copy” button
You will now need to login to your account in order to make a request. Your
“Card#” is the 13-digit barcode number on the back of your student ID card.
The PIN for everyone at Lourdes is 3991.
Click “Login”
Next a screen will pop up informing you which item you are requesting and where it will
be delivered to. If everything looks correct, you can click on “PLACE HOLD” and you are
done.
