The Ottawa Public Library has a new catalogue system! Click the logo above to check it out. If you used the catalogue in the past, you'll quickly notice all the great changes that have been made. Now you can do much more than just search for books. Users are invited to create profiles that allow them to comment on books and other materials, post videos related to library content, create a favourites list, and participate in discussion groups. You can also browse the library's new arrivals and most popular items by scrolling through thumbnail pictures, much like an ipod. And the catalogue still performs all the functions it used to: placing holds, checking accounts for overdue books, searching by different categories. It really is much easier to use and is a great forum for people who like to share ideas about books, movies, music, magazines, and more.
Check out what some people had to say about these popular books, and then comment on some of your favourites.
