New Look to the Online Catalog

Check out the new look to the online catalog! After setting up an account you can rate items, tag items and even review items.

Have you always wanted a list of books that you have already read? You can now do this. If you have a list on the old catalog, it will not transfer to the new so you will need to manually change them. The old list will stay around for a year so you have plenty of time to create your list in the new catalog. All this can be found under the 'My Discoveries' tab on the top right hand side.

The tags and reviews that you see on items are from libraries world wide that are using this software.
Another new feature is the 'Article database results'. You are able to view magazine articles on your chosen topic with this.

Click 'SELCO/SELS Catalog' above and have fun!
