How to Change the Address Where Your Library Receives Checks

We've recently had many phone calls from directors and trustees regarding the address that checks for the library are sent to from NCLS.  Click here for an instructional guide to updating the name and address of your library's check receiver.  It's quick and easy! 

An open letter to America’s publishers from ALA President

Simon & Schuster, Penguin, and Macmillan are challenged by ALA President, Maureen Sullivan, to cooperate with libraries regarding e-book availability.

According to Ms. Sullivan, half of the titles appearing in any given week's list of NY Times best sellers are unavailable in e-book format due to publishers' refusal to sell e-books to libraries.

New NCLS Catalog-- check it out!

We have been working on a new catalog that will give patrons much better search results. The search engine returns improved lists for searches and does a good job of handling misspellings. Also, patrons will be less dependent on choosing whether the search is a Title, Author, or Subject. Give it a try! Put in a title search without specifying “Title” in the pull-down. Try some common misspellings and see how it does. After you have entered a search, notice the features in the left column that allow you to easily narrow the search.

The test-version of the catalog can be found here:
