Evergreen

There are some things you should know about the new software you will use to access our library catalog:

•All Central and Western items are in ONE catalog! Patrons won’t have to change catalogs to request an item from the alternate region.

•Navigating your Patron LOGIN is more intuitive. A set of tabs called "the dashboard” guides you to options like your Account Summary, Items Checked Out, Holds, Account Preferences, and Lists!

•Lists can be broadcast over the new RSS feed! Faltering for titles and wasting time at Book Club is a thing of the past! Members will have already responded to each others choices and recommendations as they are broadcast to each other in real time!

Just a COUPLE of THINGS before we change over to the new system...

•From May 25 to May 28, you will NOT have access to your C/WMARS Patron Account.

•When you login to the new catalog on May 29, your old password will not be effective. Your NEW password will be your last name typed in all UPPER CASE.

•Your current reading history and wishlists will not be carried over through the migration. We mean it when we say that this information is private! If this information is important to you, remember to export it for posterity prior to May 25.
