Try Encore, a New Way to Search the CLAMS Catalog

Posted on November 10, 2016 by | Leave a comment

When you search the CLAMS Catalog you will be invited to try our new  Encore Search.  
Encore

 

What is Encore?
Based on feedback from our users, CLAMS has added an intuitive, yet powerful search option that includes features common to search engines such as Google, commercial web sites, and social networking sites. It is a new way to search for books, DVDs, digital titles, etc. in the CLAMS libraries.  Encore is particularly powerful when you begin with a broad search and want to narrow it down.

Encore integrates the patron’s OverDrive eBook checkouts and holds into “My Account” and allows access to articles from Gale General OneFile, an online reference resource provided through the state.
For more details please visit out Help Page.

For privacy reasons, starting on May 1st, 2013 if you log in to your digital account using your library card number, you will also need a PIN (personal identification number). If you do not already have a PIN or, if you have forgotten your PIN, please set up a PIN here. You may use the same PIN that you use for regular CLAMS catalog transactions. Questions? Contact your local public library.
