PC Timer: The Crawfordsville District Public Library is using a log on system for the Internet computers on all floors. Each person is allowed 1 hour per day, but you may get to extend your time if all computers are not occupied (your computer will give you the option to extend when you have 5 minutes remaining in a session). You may log on for as many sessions as you wish per day until your maximum time is reached. There are two ways you can log on:
1) with your library card number + PIN (you are allowed two extensions of 30 minutes apiece)
If you have forgotten your library card PIN, you must ask a staff member at the Circulation desk (1st floor) to reset it to a new PIN (the staff can't tell you what your old PIN was). If you lose your library card and want to replace it, there is a $1.00 charge.
2) with a guest number + PIN (you are allowed one extension of 15 minutes)
If you do not have a library card, you must obtain a guest number + PIN from a staff member at the Circulation Desk (1st floor) or the Reference Desk (2nd floor). The guest log on is valid for 3 months. If you lose your guest number before it expires and want to replace it, there is a $1.00 charge for a new log on.
Express computers: The first-floor stand-up computers and the second-floor Local History computer allows 15 minutes for a session regardless of type of log on (no extensions).
NOTE: After a session is over, the computer will reboot and erase all changes. If you are working on a document (Word, Excel, etc.), it will be lost unless you have saved it to one of your own devices (a diskette, a CD-R or CD-RW, or a flash drive) or have sent it to your own e-mail account.

New Library Catalog
The next time you use our online catalog -- at home or in the library (or wherever you are), you may notice a different look. For one thing, if you misspell or mistype a search term, the catalog will often be ready with a "Did You Mean?" suggestion or suggestions. In addition, when you click for more information about an item (reviews, summary, etc.), your computer will no longer have to open a pop-up window: the extra information simply appears under the item record itself. You can also go directly to any page of your search results (instead of having to go in order page after page), sort by relevance, get better "narrow your search" options, and so on. If you have not used the catalog recently, give it a try and tell us what you think.
