New Catalog Information
LPL's New Catalog
We've got a new catalog, and here's the good news about it!
- Your library card number and PIN will stay the same from the old catalog to the new catalog.
- It will be much easier to search a specific library—there is a drop-down menu of all the Winding Rivers libraries. Or, you can search all libraries if you like.
- You can choose to keep a history of everything you’ve checked out (starting with the new catalog).
- You will be able to create and save lists of items that will stay in your account between logins, as long as you are logged in when you make the lists.
Below are some printable guides and videos we have created to help you discover all the great new features of our catalog. We welcome your feedback as we are working closely with the vendor to create a catalog that works for you.
For Apple devices, download our iLib2Go catalog app from iTunes. (Currently, you need to login with your library card number and PIN and logout each time--the app is still in development.)
For those with accessibility needs or dial-up, try this link for a non-flash version of the catalog.
If you need more help, please call the Reference Desk at 608-789-7122.
User Guides
Here are some printable PDF guides to help you navigate your way through our new catalog:
Searching the Catalog | The search features in the new catalog are a bit different from the old one, but much improved and more intuitive. This guide takes you through both the basic and the advanced search features of the catalog. |
Checking Your Account | Managing your account has become so much easier! This guide will show you how to:
|
Reserving Books | By reserving books you won't miss out. Reserving books is easy and fast with our new catalog. |
Managing Your Lists | Lists allow you to keep track of items you have found in the catalog, but that you're not quite ready to check out or reserve. This feature has been greatly improved in our new catalog. It's your "stuff I might like to read when I'm done with the pile I have now" list. (New Feature) |
