The Online Catalog Gets Personal!

The Ritz' Online Catalog has just been enhanced to include "MyAccount". This function allows you to see what books you have out, when they are due back, and whether you owe any overdue fines.

MyAccount personalizes the Online Catalog in other ways too. Need to cite a book you've already returned? MyAccount displays a list of the books you've borrowed in the past. You can also use MyAccount to renew loans of books you have out, or to request a "hold," which reserves a book once it is returned. And remember: You cannot renew a book that is already overdue.

Another handy feature is the MyAccount "Basket" which allows you to save a list of books in the DCC Library. That list can then be emailed or downloaded and used to create a bibliography.


Ready to try it? Go to the Ritz Online Catalog. "MyAccount" appears as a tab on the upper right side of the screen. Students should login using their MyDCC usernames & passwords. College faculty & staff should contact Alice McGovern at 431-8631 for information about accessing their MyAccounts
