Yarra Plenty Regional Library - the catalogue of the future ?



Yarra Plenty Regional Library has recently launched their new library catalogue & website . A presentation was given at the Information Online Conference in Sydney on 3 February 2011.

Some of the features of this new website :

* Search. The search bar is at the top of every page & you can treat this search bar like a Google search.
* My Shelves - you can have your very own virtual collection
* Recently returned - you can choose for the website to remember items you have borrowed by ticking a box in Account settings. It's a great way to know if you have read something before . You can also them:
* Add comments - record your thoughts- good or bad on a particular title. Remember when you read it. See what other people think of a title and their loan recommendations that way.
* Save for later - Use the for Later option to create a never ending list of titles to save for another day!
* Create lists, share opinions,collate together similar titles on your favourite topics or your top 10 books of the year etc
