LAKEPORT >> On Nov. 1 the Lake County Library”s new catalog “Find at the Library” will make its debut. Patrons can request books, DVDs, and audiobooks from Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake County libraries at their home computers and pick them up at their local branches with their library cards.
“Finding what you want at the library is fun and easy with the new catalog,” says Lake County Library director Christopher Veach. “The new catalog has more relevant search results than the old one, search suggestions, and spell check. The new catalog has improved navigation and improved limits. Search results can be switched from detail view to cover view. You can text or email search results to yourself in order to find a book on the shelf.”
Patrons can now find and download ebooks and downloadable audio books right alongside traditional books in the catalog. Many books include summaries, reviews, and even previews of the contents.
Another improved feature is “My Lists” which lets patrons save multiple titles on different wish lists to request or read later.
To see the new catalog, go to the Lake County Library websitehttp://library.co.lake.ca.us and click on the “Find at the Library” catalog link.
