Virtual Catalog Live in Greenfield!

Have you tried to find that one special book in the libraries in Western MA, but no one seems to own it? Did you continue your search in the C/W MARS Union Catalog to no avail? Take heart! Another option is open to you!

Once you are in the C/W MARS Union Catalog, you can click on the link to the Virtual Catalog at the top of the green screen. (NOTE: if what you want is available in C/W MARS, you cannot request it through the Virtual Catalog.) All you do is enter your region (Western), your library card number, and pickup location. Click on the Searching/Requesting button, then enter what you are looking for. Once you have found the item you want, click Request, Create Request, and Submit Request. If your item is available in Massachusetts, the Virtual Catalog will place it on hold for you and have it sent here. It's that simple! Really.

We hope you enjoy your Virtual Catalog experience.

Virtual Catalog

The Virtual Catalog is coming! The Virtual Catalog is coming!

So, what is the Virtual Catalog? The Virtual Catalog expands the choices patrons have of how to get items from the library. Can't find it in C/W MARS? No problem, click on the link in the catalog to access the Virtual Catalog to search in other Massachusetts libraries. All you do is enter your region (Western), your library card number and pickup location, and what you are looking for (there will be instructions at the library and on the screen). Then click Request, Create Request, and Submit Request. If your item is available in Massachusetts, the Virtual Catalog will place it on hold for you and have it sent here.

The Virtual Catalog will go live for public use on August 16th. Look for it at your local C/W MARS library and on this library's home page.
