Search from a book jacket image
You may see a picture of a book in the center pane of the portal page. (You may have to scroll the page down to see the picture.) The pictured book is taken from current best-seller lists, and changes every time you return to or refresh the portal page. You can search for the pictured book in the library catalog, and if the title is not found, you can ask the library to purchase it. Follow these steps to search for a title from an image on the portal page.
1. Click the book jacket image to launch the search.
If the search is successful, information about the title is displayed. See Viewing Title Information. If the title is in the catalog but currently unavailable, you may be able to request or purchase it. See Obtaining Materials.
If no matches in the catalog are found, the purchase request form appears.
2. To ask the library to purchase the title, type a note in the box, if you wish, and click Send.
The request is sent to the library by e-mail, and a confirmation message is displayed.
