You can use Library Elf for a single library account, but you can also add multiple cards (those of your spouse and your kids, for example) to the same Elf account to keep track of everyone’s items in a single place.</p> <p>To register for Elf, just go the drop down menu under the <strong>Explore</strong> tab on the library’s home page. Under the section that says R<a href="http://www.tulsalibrary.org/reader-tools">eader Tools</a>, select the ‘Track Holds/Loans with Library Elf’ link. At the bottom of the page, go to ‘<a href="https://www.libraryelf.org/base/SignUp.aspx">Sign up here to create an Elf account.</a>’ The first thing you'll do is create the Elf account, using your email address. Then you will be prompted to add your library card to the account. (You'll need to have your library card password to add it to the Elf account. If you aren't sure what that password is, please call the library's Hotline at 918-549-7323 to have it activated or reset.)</p> <p>Once you've signed up for your account, you can add additional cards to the account by clicking on the 'Add Card' option in the left hand column. With your Library Elf account created, you can go the 'My Account' link and set your preferences about when and how often you want to receive notices, and the method of delivery (email, RSS feed, text, etc).</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/tags/library-elf" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Library Elf</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/tags/holds" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">holds</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/tags/overdues" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">overdues</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-category field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/blog/featured-services" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Featured Services</a></div></div></div> Thu, 29 May 2014 21:07:50 +0000 pklein 231319 at http://www.tulsalibrary.org http://www.tulsalibrary.org/blog/there-way-i-can-keep-track-all-my-family-s-library-cards-once#comments
