There are two updates in October to be aware of: 1) Libby will need a PIN, 2) the online catalog is changing
1: By mid-October, the Libby app will require a PIN number to validate your library card.
Not to worry! At YCL, your PIN is set to the last 4 digits of your library card.
❔If you changed it but forget, reach out to your local library for a quick reset.
➡️If you have an eCard starting with 990-, you picked your own PIN at signup.
2: Our online catalog vendor is moving from ChiliPAC to a new service, Aspen. Aspen has a LOT of great new features, like being able to search eBooks and print books at the same time!
🕐 If you turned on "Check Out History" in ChiliPAC and you want to keep the info, please download it by October 18th.
🕸️ Our blog has step-by-step instructions (with pictures) for how to do this!
➡️ Note: Most people do not have a Check Out History, as this is turned off by default.
