FindIt

Here are some of the most common questions about JMRL's materials and using the catalog.

How can I find out if the library owns a particular item?
Where are my saved lists?

Both the Find It and Classic catalog interfaces have a feature called "Create a List" or "My Lists".

Currently these features are only within the individual interface, therefore the Create a List in Find It is only in Find It and a My List in the Classic interface is only available in Classic.

Where is my Reading or Checkout History?

If your account is set to save your Reading/Checkout history, that information is available in both the Find It and Classic catalog interfaces.

If you wish to Opt In or Opt Out of saving your Reading/Checkout history, remove listed items, or export your Reading/Checkout history, you may do so in the Classic Reading History page.

While your Checkout history is available to view in Find It, it is only available to edit in Classic.

Where are my saved searches?

Both the Find It and Classic catalog interfaces have a feature called "Saved Searches" or "Preferred Searches".

Currently these features are only within the individual interface, therefore a Saved Search in Find It is only in Find It and a Preferred Search in the Classic interface is only available in Classic.

How do I edit my account information?

Some account edit features are available in both the Find It and Classic catalog interfaces.

In Find It, you may edit your preferred library and alternate ID.  In Classic you can edit telephone number, email address, and alternate ID.

How can I freeze my hold?

Freezing holds is a feature currently only available in the Classic catalog interface.

Selecting to freeze a hold will keep your place in the holds list.  When you are ready for the item, you have to go to the Classic catalog interface to unfreeze the hold.
