There are two types of searching – Basic and Visual. Use a Basic search if you know what you are looking for and a Visual search if you want to browse for ideas. The green arrows show how to go between the two types of searches.
BASIC
LOGIN
Each Second, Third and Fourth Grade student has a login for the library system and can sign in by clicking “Login” in the Grades 1-4 Library catalog (orange arrow). It is the same as their login and password for the computer lab. If there is a problem, please see me.
Once logged in, students can create lists of books they would like to read, recommend books to friends, write reviews of books they enjoyed, renew books they would like to keep longer and place a hold on books that they want to check out.
CREATE A LIST
You can create a list of books that sound good to you so that you can easily find them again when you come to the library! Click “Add to this list” (red arrow) to add to your list and Resource Lists (blue arrow) to see your list. Click on the title of the book to see more information, such as summaries and reviews.
RECOMMEND and REVIEW
Recommending a book (yellow arrow) allows you to send a message to a friend recommending a book to them. They will see your recommendation the next time they login.
Reviewing a book (pink arrow) creates a starred review that stays in the catalog forever. Let people know about the books that you love and find books other students enjoyed!
HOLD: You can put a hold on a book by clicking Hold (blue arrow above)
RENEW
Click on the My Info tab on top and find the button that says RENEW near the book you want to renew (red arrow). This is also a good place to check when your book is due.
