Little Book Icons

Have you ever wondered what the little book icon at the end of some titles but not others means? For example, take a look at this search. The first entry doesn't have a book icon at the end of the title but the second one does. Why? Theoretically, the book icon is suppose to mean that the library you are looking at owns a copy of that book. However, this is really only useful if you're either using a dedicated catalog computer in the library or manually going to that library's catalog profile. Our main catalog that you access at http://catalog.mylibrary.us/ is associated with the Farr library. So, if you see little book icons on it, that means that the item is available at Farr. How do you access an individual library's profile manually? Use the links below: See Item Order in the Catalog for more information on ways a library's profile matters.
