We're launching our new and improved catalog on September 1, but you can preview it now!
The new BiblioCore catalog offers:
- A more powerful keyword search and simplified search results that group different formats of the same title
- Improved accessibility and a cleaner, more intuitive interface across devices
- Easier browsing to discover materials, including expertly curated booklists
- The ability to contribute reviews, ratings, and comments
How to preview our new catalog
- Look for the banner in our current catalog, which invites you to preview our new catalog ahead of its September 1 launch. Or, visit northbrookpl.bibliocommons.com to access the preview.
- Since this is a new system, you will need to complete a brief, one-time registration process the first time you log in using your library card number and password. Because our new catalog includes interactive features, such as leaving reviews and creating lists, you will need to create a username during registration. After registering, you can log in using either your library card number or your username.
- The preview catalog is fully functional, so after you create your new login, you can access your account, place holds, renew materials, etc. During the preview phase, our current catalog will remain available, and you can switch between the current and new versions.
Timeline
Monday, August 3: Library cardholders can begin using the new catalog during the preview phase.
Tuesday, September 1: The new BiblioCore catalog will replace our existing catalog.
