There are several ways to find and view catalogues:
Using Quick Search, choose "Books" from the drop down menu and type in a title, author, ISBN, keyword, or series name. Results will display by newest publication date as a default. This can be readjusted to display based alphabetically by author or title.
You can further refine your search using filters, including but not limited to: subject, price, and even contributor location. You can also switch to catalogue search using the same terms by clicking the button in the upper right-hand corner.
Click on the gears icon in the top-right menu bar, and select Settings.
Under Personal Settings, select your change notification and email preferences. Learn more about change notifications here.
Opt-in to the CataList Directory. The directory allows other CataList users to share notes and catalogues with you directly. CataList only ever shares your name and library affiliation. Your email address and other contact information are never shared.
Click on the Save button to save your preferences.
If you are the primary contact for your account, you have additional set-up options. From your Settings page, select the Administration tab. If you do not see this option and need to access the set-up controls, contact us at catalist@booknetcanada.ca to upgrade your access.
Each account by default has a single location set up. Click on the Add a Branch button to add more locations to your account. Each branch will be given its own order box in CataList.
Once your list has been built, you can edit any branch listing by clicking the Edit button in the table.
Upload a logo image for your company. We will attach this logo to any custom catalogues your account users create.
Set up new users in your account by clicking the Add a User button that appears beneath the User List.
Manage each user’s access and user type by clicking the Edit icon in the Actions column. For more information about user types, read about access levels in the CataList Help Manual.
Click on the Start New Order button (cart icon in the toolbar) to begin a new order.
