Q.  How can I be alerted to new books acquired by the library?

If you wish to be informed of the latest books acquired by the library, you can use myLINC.  This alert service can be set up for your favorite author or any subject of your interest. 

In the LINC homepage, click 'Login to myLINC'.

 

 

After login, click 'Search the catalog' in the upper frame. Do a subject or author search. 

At the results screen, click 'Save' to save your search strategy.

 

 

Next, click 'Patron Record' to view your library record. In the next screen, you would notice there is an extra button, 'Preferred Searches,' in the upper frame. Click this button to see the search strategy that you have saved.  In the column 'Mark for Email,' check the box against the preferred search that you wish to save as an alert. Finally click the 'Update List' button to save the changes.

 

 

If the library acquires any book on your subject or by your favorite author, you will be informed weekly by email.
