Library Launches New Online Catalog

On Thursday, Jan. 15, the Dinand Library will launch a new and improved online catalog.

There are many new features that will be available to users right away:

* “My Library Record” allows users to see the titles and due dates of items they have checked out. In addition, users may renew books online if they are not overdue. To use “My Library Record,” enter your name and your Holy Cross ID number. You can create your own pin number. If you have trouble entering “My Library Record,” please bring your ID to the circulation desk for assistance. * “Place Holds” allows users to put a hold on a book that is charged out. When the book is returned the user will be notified. * “Save Preferred Searches” allows users to save a favorite search (ex. favorite author). The system will send a notice the next time a book with that heading is cataloged. To use this feature you must be logged into “My Library Record.” Once you are logged in, perform a search and click on “Save Preferred Searches” (under the "Search" button). Go to your patron record, select “Preferred Searches,” and select the e-mail check box. * Overdue notices will now be sent via e-mail. * An image viewer has been added to the images in the Worcester Art Museum and Holy Cross slides catalogs. * An online “New Books” listing is now available.

The new online catalog is accessible at http://manchaug.holycross.edu:2082/.

In the months ahead, the Dinand Library will be announcing new features that will enhance access to the College’s library resources.
