Discover New Books
There are two main ways to learn about newly arrived library materials (including books and DVDs but not journals):
A) Monthly New Items Lists:
A list of new arrivals to the library is created every month, as are sub-lists in selected subject areas.
B) Saved Searches:
My Library Account allows you to set-up "saved searches", which will email you when new items fitting the search criteria are added to our collection.
- Log in to My Library Account (See: How to access My Library Account).
- From your library account screen, click on Search the Catalog.
- This will take you to the catalog search screen (you will see your name at the top of the screen).
- Do a search on your topic (it can be a keyword, author, subject, or any other kind of search).
- When you get a result screen there will be a Save this Search button alongside the Search button (this button does not appear if you are not logged in when you do a search).
- Click on this to save your search.
- Follow the Patron Record button at the top back to your library account screen.
- Now when you click on Preferred Searches you will see the saved search.
- Through this screen you can see the search again (link to the right), delete it, or mark for email.
- If you click off mark for email and then update list you will be set-up for email notifications.
Periodically you will be sent an email with any new additions to your saved search(es), including author, title, call number, and subject(s), as well as a link into the library catalog record for the item.
