Linking and using a Mouse
Because iPac is an Internet application, the user moves from page to page and from record
to record by mouse clicking. When the cursor hovers over a link, depending on your web
browser, a line may appear under the link - or a destination address may show at the
bottom of your screen - to indicate that there is an available link to more information.


Searching
The initial screen of iPac gives a choice of searching methods. By clicking the
"Search" tab, a user can do simpler or complex Boolean searching, too.


My Account
A user can see checkouts, holds, and overdues by clicking on "My Account" and
submitting his/her borrower's card number.

Your library card barcode number is your User ID.

For ensured privacy, a PIN number can be obtained by visiting the main library and filling
our the appropriate form. You do
NOT need to have a PIN to see your account online,
but if you asked to have a PIN assigned, you must use it.
