Catalog brings new services to FdL Library . Patrons will see increased access to resources on Nov. 3. (Fond du Lac Reporter, 10/21/2011)
Excerpt: The Fond du Lac Public Library, 32 Sheboygan St., is becoming an independent, standalone library — a change that aims to save more than $60,000 a year and provide improved service.
The library has been a member of the Winnefox Library System, but the Library Board earlier this year determined that the $103,000 annual Winnefox price tag was not providing good value to Fond du Lac taxpayers.
The process of separating the Fond du Lac Public Library's electronic catalog files from the Winnefox files has been under way for months and will culminate on Nov. 3 when the library will unveil two new catalogs.
A modernized and streamlined Fond du Lac materials catalog will allow local cardholders to view and reserve materials at any of the library's locations.
The catalog will offer expanded searching, looking not just in library materials but also through databases and online resources.
