What is a Saved Search? Why would I want one?

The library catalog allows users to create a search and automate it so that it runs weekly or monthly.  That means, you don't have to miss out on your favorite authors when we add one of their new titles to the catalog!  Set up your search to find subjects of interest (scrapbooking) or particular formats you want (new DVDs) and get an email informing you that the item has been added.  This is your cue to place a hold so that we can notify you when it becomes available.
  1. Open the library webpage & click on “my account”.
  2. Login with your library card number & password. 
  3. Perform a search and  click “save search”.   
  4. Name your search and choose the delivery frequency of the email.
Contact a staff member if you have questions or feel free to drop by the library for a demonstration!
