Want a shortcut to the catalog?

Written on: March 23rd, 2009 by: in News

While I am the biggest fan of our library catalog portal page, which is full of helpful and entertaining content, I do understand how some people might want to skip over it and go straight to their own account to access the library resources.

To this end, it is possible for patrons to customize a URL that logs them in automatically to their library account- with the strong caveat that you should only do this on your home or private computer, and not share it with anyone, because it embeds your account number and password directly into the link.

To create the custom login URL, simply add the appropriate info to the xxxx fields in the following link, paste it into your browser and bookmark, or create a desktop shortcut. user_id is the barcode number from your library card and password is the four-character login that you use to access your account:
