Hinweis der Redaktion
- If you’re a newcomer to the Four County Website , these slides will help you get your bearings. After that, you can poke around the site and see what’s there—which is the best way to become a savvy Web user.
- To borrow physical materials like books or DVDs from member libraries you need to logon to the 4-County site. If you don’t need physical materials, you can get information from electronic sources without logging on to the site. Clicking on Internet search opens a page of links to search engines like Yahoo, Google and DogPile where you can search for materials to view online. By clicking the Research Center, you may access the NOVEL collection of online reference materials. You will need your 4-County library card number to access NOVEL through this link.
- What’s on your screen now is both the home page and the search screen for iBistro , also known as the Online Collection Library Catalog or OCLC. We’ll help you log in; then we’ll show you the resources available from iBistro .
- If you have difficulty getting logged on, the problem is probably in the numbers. The numbers on your library card are small and hard to read. Make sure you are entering them correctly. It’s also possible that your library has a different phone number on record than the one you entered. If you can’t log on and can’t figure out what’s wrong, seek help from staff at your library.
- iBistro gives you a series of places you can look for information. They include: Kid’s Library includes both physical and electronic sources for children and teens. Search uses the search boxes on this screen. Power Search lets you restrict your search by combining several search terms. Use Power Search to find a particular kind of material (like audio tapes or large print books) or if there are hundreds of titles on your general topic. Find It Fast! is a collection of bibliographies on popular topics. Collections may have hundreds of items. The lists on the iBistro Seach/Home page link you to prize-winning and popular books and information sources.
- Using any of these gateways to information will bring you in a few clicks to a list of search results. Search results show items held by libraries that belong to the 4-County system.
- For each item, you’ll see in bold dark print a call number for the item and its publication date . On the next line, you’ll find the title and the author . To the left of each item are three buttons. Details lets you see more information about the contents of the item. Keep lets you check items you may want to borrow. (The list lasts only until you log out. The next time you log in, you won’t have access to that list.) The Place Hold button opens a screen where you can ask to borrow the material.
