Catalog Blog: Save Your Searches

This is the first of a series of posts about features of the Library catalog that may be new to you.

Do you frequently search for the same authors or subjects? Would you like to find out when your favorite author releases a new book or the Library acquires books, audiobooks, or DVDs on a particular subject? You can save searches in the catalog, repeat them whenever you want, and request email notices when new titles that match your search are added to the catalog. Here's how:

  • Log into your Library account
  • Enter a search in the box at the top of your Library account window, or click  New Search to enter a search on the main page.
  • Look at your results list to make sure you have found what you were looking for.
  • In the search box at the top of the results window, click Save this Search button.
  • Click  My Account at the top of the page to go back to your account window.
  • Click  Preferred Searches button
  • You will see a list of your saved searches: Click  the Search link to repeat your search. Click the Mark for Email checkbox to receive an email notice when a new title matches your search. Click the Mark to Remove checkbox to delete a saved search.
  • If you have made any changes, be sure to click Save Changes button..
