Mark Twain Library card holders now have fast access
to the 2,500,000 books, movies and CDs in the Bibliomation library
consortium.
Request them by accessing our online catalog, clicking
the tab for Bibliomation Libraries Search, and searching for
the desired item. When the catalog record for the item appears,
- click request item
- enter your library barcode, and click
"login"
- click request on request confirmation
screen.
If you prefer, you may place a request on an item
in the Mark Twain Library collection by following the procedure
described above, but without clicking the Bibliomation tab. Requests
may be placed for all Mark Twain Library items except new
DVDs.
The item you requested should arrive at the library
in 3 to 4 days; you will be contacted when it arrives. Brand-new
items and books that do not have copies "checked in" at other Bibliomation
libraries may take a bit longer.
Sometimes your request for a particular item in
a Bibliomation library will result in the message, "Unable to place
a request on this item. Please, contact your library for more information".
Please do give us a call, since we may be able to request the item
for you by calling the library directly.
If you cannot locate your desired item in the Mark
Twain Library collection or the Bibliomation consortium, then use
the ICONN REQUEST catalog, which searches all public libraries in
the state. Do this by accessing our online catalog, but this time
click the tab for the Statewide Library Catalog. Enter the
website by logging in with your library barcode. When you locate
your item in the "main catalog", click request the item and
follow instructions to have the material sent directly to the Mark
Twain Library in a week to ten days.
