Commonwealth Catalog – Attleboro Public Library https://attleborolibrary.org Books and So Much More Tue, 19 Jan 2016 18:49:51 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.5.1 Check out the Commonwealth Catalog! https://attleborolibrary.org/2016/01/check-out-the-commonwealth-catalog/ Thu, 14 Jan 2016 17:49:11 +0000 http://attleborolibrary.org/?p=6593 Have you tried the Commonwealth Catalog? Commonwealth Catalog is your go-to source for items not found in the SAILS network.   Search for an item in the Commonwealth CatalogCommonwealth Catalog, place a request, and the title will be delivered to your local library for pick up. Easy!  The Commonwealth Catalog has access to many participating libraries across the state – public libraries, university libraries and special libraries offering unique collections.

Certain exceptions do apply – if the item is in the SAILS network, you must wait for the SAILS item to be available. Also, newly published items are usually not lent via the Commonwealth Catalog or Interlibrary Loan until at least 6 months past the publishing date. Most formats are available for request – Print, Audio CD, DVD, and Music CD. E-Books are currently available via sails.lib.overdrive.com or mass.gov/libraries.

Need a title not available in SAILS or the Commonwealth Catalog? Fill out our Interlibrary Loan request and our Reference Staff will be happy to request the item for you – we routinely request items from across the continental United States – for free! Questions? Contact the Reference Department at apl_ref@sailsinc.org.

Free Multi-State Interlibrary Loan Service at Your Fingertips! https://attleborolibrary.org/2015/07/free-multi-state-interlibrary-loan-service-at-your-fingertips/ Fri, 17 Jul 2015 15:08:40 +0000 http://attleborolibrary.org/?p=5175 1780869_10152170832420907_345156810_nYou may be used to browsing shelves, finding an item, and checking it out, but did you know that APL offers free Interlibrary Loan service as well?  The SAILS network offers access to items in over 40 communities and 73 libraries. If the item is not in a SAILS library, then try requesting it via the new Commonwealth Catalog, which provides access to public and academic libraries across the state. Use your library card number and PIN (usually the last four numbers of your phone #) to request your most wanted book, music or video and it will be delivered to your local library.

Can’t find the item you want in either SAILS or the Commonwealth Catalog? Our Reference Department is happy to request it via Interlibrary Loan. APL’s  free Interlibrary Loan service is an option for items not found in local libraries. Use this service to borrow those hard-to-find books, audiobooks, music cd’s and DVD’s.  We frequently borrow these items, as well as foreign language items, for our patrons. Please note that ILL cannot be used to request items published in the last six months, new release feature films & TV series, or paperbacks, and is only for items available in the continental United States.

Please contact our Reference Department at apl_ref@sailsinc.org to learn more about this service. Interlibrary Loan service is in cooperation with the SAILS network, Commonwealth Catalog, and Massachusetts Library System.
