Geauga County Public Library is upgrading its current digital catalog to Encore.

Patrons will be able to search for books, DVDs, audio recordings and digital content in an intuitive environment with icons and graphics including book covers.

The search engine uses author names, book titles and subjects to present relevant content.

The upgrade has been occurring behind the scenes since last fall, but is on schedule to be completed May 22.

All county library locations will be closed May 20-21 for data migration and staff training.

“Offering our patrons the best in browsing and finding their materials is a constant goal,” says GCPL Director Deborah F. O’Connor. “Our current system has been acceptable, but as technology has progressed, it is time to embrace a catalog that is similar to a modern online bookstore browsing environment.”

Patron PINs will not automatically transfer to the new system. Users will be prompted to create new PINs when they log into the new Encore catalog available May 22 by entering a combination of at least four letters and/or numbers. They should record it for safekeeping, and use it whenever they want to access their library account.

Additionally, lists will not migrate to the new environment, but patrons may now access their lists in the current environment and print them. Any suspended holds will become active automatically in the new system.

Visit any Geauga County Public Library or GeaugaLibrary.net for more details.
