The website of the Jacksonville Public Library began in 1993 with the availability of the JAXCAT online public catalog. Over the years additional features have been added, such as customers' ability to log in to access their account information, place holds, and renew materials checked out to their account. Online subscription databases are accessible via the website, including magazine and newspaper article databases, and business, health, and literature resources. In 2013, the Jacksonville Public Library released a new online library catalog. The new catalog is paired with Amazon with a "Buy it Now" feature. Patrons that buy items through the new catalog via Amazon will help the library system earn more materials for their collection.
