You may have noticed that the Lillie M. Evans Library
catalog, RSAcat, looks differently. On
February 20, 2015, the library switched to the new RSAcat that has been
in development for quite some time. The
old traditional catalog was using software that was more than 10 years old and
it was time to update.
Users of the new
catalog will see not only a sleek new look but will be able to search for e-books and e-audiobooks right from the catalog. Other features like renewing books online and
placing holds will still be available for our users. Test messaging titles to your phone will also
continue to be available.
A handout highlighting the new RSAcat features is available
online. As always, if you have any
questions, please contact the library at 309-385-4540 or at lill@lmelibrary.org
