Welcome to Loutit District Library’s new and improved catalog. Check out some of the key features and get started today.
Features
Search now works like Google and the rest of the web. Catalog searches use natural language detection to ensure that when you search with keywords like “new music” or “kids movies,” you will easily find what you are looking for. Spell something wrong? That’s ok! The catalog will suggest the correct spelling. Use filters for format, genre and content to help you narrow in on exactly the items you want from the library.
Get started by creating an account! The new online catalog features personal recordkeeping tools: My Profile, My Shelves, My Lists, and more. Access your borrowing history and make themed lists or shelves.
Easily browse new titles, award winners, and lists created by library staff and other readers. Ratings, comments, and tags help you evaluate and choose the perfect book, DVD, or CD for you from the library’s collection. Write your own to help others find great materials.
Get started today!
Create your new username. Log in with your library card number and the PIN you have used previously for accessing your library account. You will be prompted to create a unique username that will make it easier to access your account in the future! Accept the terms and get started.
Manage your privacy settings. You decide how much or how little you want to share. To set your privacy settings, Log In/My LDL in the top right corner and go to My Settings. Under Privacy, click My Shelves and My Feeds. Don’t worry, your Borrowing and On Hold information is ALWAYS private.
Place a hold with just one click. Once you are logged in, you can place a book on hold in one click from your search results or from a list. It has never been easier to request a title from the library.
Get organized. Use virtual Shelves to organize everything you have read, listened to, or watched or that you want to check out from the library later. To see your Shelves, log in and click My Profile –> Shelves.
