Have you ever searched for a title and discovered that the library does not have it? Well, there is a way to be notified if the library does purchase it in the future! Here's how:
- Log in to your library account
- Search for the title of the book you are interested in
- When the computer tells you no items by this title, click save search
- Follow the prompts to save your search
- Choose whether you want the computer to run the saved search weekly or monthly
The computer system will run the search automatically and send you an email when the title has been added to the catalog. You can then log in and place it on hold, even while it is still on order, so you'll be among the first to get the item.
Want to create a saved search for new titles by your favorite author? You can do that too! Just follow these steps:
- Log in to your library account
- Do an author search for your favorite author (for example: Patterson, James)
- Click save search
- Follow the prompts to name your search and choose how often you want it to run
The computer system will run the search automatically and send you an email when titles by your author have been added to the catalog. You can then log in and place the item on hold so you'll get it as soon as possible.
Note: The saved search function and holds do not work with the ebook and eaudiobook titles that are in the computer.
