Welcome to NExpress/KOHA – Seneca Free Library

We are excited to see so many of our patrons using our new NEXPRESS catalog/circulation system. Every day we are receiving items that our patrons are placing holds on from their home computers. When the items arrive at the library, we scan them and an e-mail is sent notifying the patron, if an address has been provided! Not sure how to get started doing this yourself? First, call the library to find out your Log In and Passwords.Then watch this tutorial video, just copy and paste the address below: New Catalog Overview Video for Patron:http://www.nexpresslibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/nov09opacoverview.swf If you prefer to look at only the Seneca Library catalog, or any one library’s catalog, use the Advanced Search option. Near the bottom of the Advanced Search page there is a drop down box that lets you select all libraries or choose which library catalog you want to search. Not only can you place books, DVDs, books on CD, etc on hold, you can renew your items online also, by going to the My Summary tab. As long as your books are not already overdue, you can renew them this way. Here is another video to help you learn how to use your library account: New My Account Overview video for Patrons http://www.nexpresslibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/nov09myaccountoverview.swf Also new to this system, some of our new items have a ONE WEEK check out. We sometimes forget to mention this to our patrons. You’ll have to check your receipt or go on line to see when your material is due back to the library. Or sign up to receive advance notice on your e-mail account. Helpful hint: NEXPRESS/Koha, an open source web based system, likes the Firefox search engine better than Explorer. If you are having trouble viewing the video or using NEXPRESS, try downloading Firefox. It is a free download. Go to Firefox.com and follow the prompts to download to your computer. MOST OF ALL HAVE FUN EXPLORING NEXPRESS!
