How
to Search
Our Catalog
 The
SIRSI iBistro© Online Catalog has many new features:

- You can
place holds, renew books and make requests.
- You can
view your checkouts, holds, overdues, fines and more.
- You can
browse best seller lists and award winning titles for all ages.
- You can
easily access and view recommended web sites.
- You can
read reviews and summaries of items in our catalog.
PI
N (Personal
Identification Number)
Anyone can search the catalog, but to place a hold, renew or view
your library record, you will need your library card number (the
10 digit number located under the barcode on the back of your library
card) and a PIN. To obtain a PIN, you will need to come to the library
and bring identification with you to verify your identity. This
is necessary to assure the confidentiality of our library patron
records. If you forget or lose your PIN, you will need to come to
the library with proper ID.
Holds
To place a hold, you must be logged on to the catalog with your
user ID and PIN. Simply locate the item you want in the online catalog
and then click term Place Hold on the left side of the screen. Indicate
where you want to pick up the item.
When you place
a hold via iBistro©, items may not be immediately available.
You will receive notification when the items are available for pickup.
If you need the items immediately, please call your library.
WebTV Users
WebTV uses "caching" to cut down the time it takes to
download additional pages from the internet. Our catalog creates
webpages dynamically and does not have static web pages, so it cannot
be cached. In addition, our catalog has security features in place
that do not work with caching and proxy servers so that each catalog
search remains private.
Because these two technologies do not work hand in hand, WebTV users
may not be able to access our catalog.
Links
to the Catalog
Do NOT create a "bookmark," "favorites," or
link to the catalog past this point. Because catalog session links
are dynamic and URLs are created on-the-fly, future sessions will
not connect properly using an old URL. Again this is a security
feature to protect your privacy.
Check back
often for further updates.
