<br />liBrary & muSeum newS
<br />Summer reading ProgamliBrary catalog getS new look
<br />and imProved functionality
<br />As part of the Flatirons Library Consortium (FLC), your
<br />Library provides access to materials from Broomfield and
<br />Boulder libraries, as well as the Prospector unified catalog of
<br />over 40 libraries throughout the state. Now the FLC catalog
<br />has a new look and enhanced functionality to make searching
<br />for and checking out materials more intuitive and informa-
<br />tive. What’s different? Here’s a brief list:
<br /> One search will combine results showing multiple ma-
<br />terial formats for an item, available copies, and where the
<br />item is held—including Prospector.
<br /> OverDrive eBooks and other electronic materials can be
<br />searched and checked out right from the catalog!
<br /> Easier access to reviews, as well as integration with
<br />NoveList and NoveList K-8 reader services, which help
<br />patrons discover new materials and even narrow searching
<br />by reading level for kids.
<br />For those who prefer the ‘classic’ catalog, it is still available,
<br />although without the enhanced functionality of the new
<br />interface. Please call the Reference Desk or send an e-mail to
<br />Ref_Desk@LouisvilleCO.gov if you have questions or need
<br />assistance using the new catalog. As always, your input is
<br />important to us, so let us know what you like, or don’t like,
<br />about the new catalog.
