USING THE LIBRARY CATALOG 

One of the exciting new features available in the new CARLWeb catalog is the ability to choose a selection of items and place multiple holds at once.

After searching for an item by Keyword, Author, Title, Subject, Call Number or ISBN, you may notice on the left hand side of the page the options under the heading "Personal list." This is where you can keep track of items that look interesting to you while you are searching the catalog.

You can either add everything on a page to the list or just the items you select by checking the box to the left of the title. After you choose which titles you want to add to your list, just click on "Add checked records from this page to list." Remember, you must add items from each individual page before going to the next page.

You can place holds on all items on your list or choose which items you wish to place on hold by checking the boxes next to each entry. If you look through your selections and decide you only want a few of the items on your list, simply check off those items that you want and click on "Place holds on checked records from this page."

Type in your library card number and last name and click "Place Hold." If you want to place more holds or take a look at your account after you place this hold, you must check the box next to "Remember me for this session."

You can do other things from the personal list, as well. You can email the items on your personal list to yourself or someone else. You can also download and save the list to your computer or to an external storage device (like a flash drive, CD or floppy disk).
