Greetings!
Greetings from the Milwaukee County Federated Library System!
We are excited to present a newly redesigned CountyCat. I wish to thank Steve Heser, MCFLS Library Systems Administrator, for coordinating this exciting project. A number of librarians form MCFLS member libraries served as advisors.
Some highlights of the new design include: - An interface with context-sensitive help and better layout to help you get the information you want
- The ability to login with a unique username instead of a barcode.
- "My Lists" - allows you to save titles to your own wish lists.
To check out the new design, click the image below.
We hope you enjoy the new design. Thank you for your continued support of libraries and the Milwaukee County Federated Library System.
Sincerely,
Jim Gingery
Director
Milwaukee County Federated Library System
