(Click the “browse” button next to any field)  Digital documents can be viewed or downloaded immediately  Serials or other holdings can be requested through the online system  Use an InfoCart, like a shopping cart, to store items for later retrieval and action  Log into “My OPAC” to view your open loans, overdues, reserves, routed serials and borrower information
