Our catalog was upgraded recently to improve both the response time for your searches and the relevancy of your search results. The installation of the new catalog version created changes in the way the catalog looks, how it works and the way information is displayed. In response to user feedback, we have been making adjustments, as allowed by the technology, to improve the catalog's ease of use. We have also created a Catalog FAQ to help in the transition. Staff at any library location is glad to provide individual instruction or you can contact us via phone (864-527-9258), live chat or email. We invite you to provide us feedback about the catalog by taking our short survey.
