New Catalog System
Library users will soon notice big changes in Saugus Public Library’s online catalog. Along with the other libraries in the North of Boston Library Exchange (NOBLE), we will be switching in late May to a new online catalog and circulation system called “Evergreen.”
Why?
Evergreen will offer many customer-friendly features familiar to users of other online sites. You will be able to create personalized, easy-to-remember usernames, instead of always needing to enter your library card number to check on your online accounts. In addition, you will be able to create and even share personal “lists” of favorite books or books you would like to read, as well as keep track of what you have already read. You will now be able to receive pickup notices for holds via text message or email. Another new feature will be the ability to freeze your requests while away on vacation.
When?
The switchover will take place over the Memorial Day weekend. Saugus Public Library will be closed on Saturday, May 26 through Monday May 28 to facilitate the change.
The library will re-open on Tuesday, May 29 at 11:00 a.m. with a brand new Evergreen catalog and circulation system.
Will there be a disruption of service?
Some remote services will not be available May 25-28, including online renewal of materials and placing hold requests. The catalog and electronic resources such as EBSCO periodical databases and Overdrive for downloading ebooks and audiobooks will be available during the changeover.
Also, you will need to set your PIN or create a password on the new system. You can do this from home or by coming in to the library. From home, the Evergreen PIN reset process starts with the login screen on the catalog. A reset link will be sent to the email address on file in our current system.
