With Information Portal, you can access library services from anywhere on the World Wide Web. These services include general library information and Information Portal's searching capabilities.
If you are a registered library user and have previously established an Information Portal user account, you can access more Information Portal functions. These functions include accessing and customizing your user account. To access these functions, you must first log in to your user account. To obtain a user account, contact your library.
With Information Portal, you can do these four main tasks:
View general library information, such as hours of operation.
Search for library items. Do Basic, Advanced, or Power searching. You can search by single or multiple criteria, limit your searches to include or exclude certain types of items, sort your search results, and request items you searched for. You can also display a history of your most recent searches.
If you are a registered user, access your user account (called "My Account"). Accessing your user account lets you view or renew any library items you currently have checked out, request or cancel a hold for a library item, display a history of all the holds you have placed within the last year, view fines or blocks on your account, view frequently-asked, library-related questions, or make any changes to your user account. Changes include updating personal information, submitting your e-mail address, changing your PIN number, and setting your user preferences.
Create, edit, and delete lists of library items.
