The vendor that provided our previous catalog, has phased out support of that product. Vega Discover is built on newer web technologies that improve website accessibility and allow more frequent feature updates.
Type your search terms where you see the words "What are you looking for?" at the upper right corner of your computer screen, or from the top bar on your cell phone screen. You can enter words from the title, author or concept you are looking for. Vega is not case-sensitive, so it makes no difference whether you capitalize search terms or not.
To limit your search to Author, Concept or Title, click on the box that says “All” to the left of the search bar and use the drop down menu to select the type of search you want.
Use the “Refine Results” panel on the left to narrow down your search results. You can select from many filter options, such as: Availability, Date, Format, Persons, Concepts, Language, or New materials to narrow your search, and be sure to click "Apply" to activate those filters.
In the Search Results screen, when you are looking at specific titles, use the tabs to select your preferred format (Book, eBook, Spoken CD, etc.)
Click My Account, then enter your library card number and PIN. If you have forgotten your PIN, use the Forgot Your PIN? link to reset it. You must have an existing email in your library account to reset PIN.
Please contact the Library if you need further assistance, or come to the Circulation Desk at either Library.
Both the current catalog, Encore and Vega Discover catalogs should show the same hold requests, checked-out items, and fees in My Account. Click on Checkouts & Requests at the left of your Account screen to see both your Checked out items and Requested Holds.
Log in to your account and navigate to the “holds” page. You will see an option at the right margin to Cancel hold, with a “v” at the end indicating menu options. Click the “v” and you will see the option to “freeze” pop up.
When you click Freeze, you will see a notification that this change has been successful.
To unfreeze, just use the same option, and click "Unfreeze" the hold will become active again at the same place in line as when you originally froze the hold.
Log into your Library account to create a list of titles. From your search result, click on the "For Later" icon while viewing the item you wish to save to your lists. When you click "For Later" it will auto select your general list, but you can use the pull down arrow to select from a menu of previously created lists, or to create a new list. To retrieve a previously saved list, click on the blue “Bookmarks” icon at the upper right side of the screen.
There are plenty of help resources to guide you through Vega Discover. Simply click the Help (?) icon in the upper right corner of the Vega Discover screen.
