Do we have your E-mail on file?

If we have your E-mail, you can:

  • Receive reminders before items are due 

  • Receive special library mailings

  • Be alerted when items come in for you

  • You can contact the library to give us your e-mail, 
    or you may log into iBistro and add it yourself under the "Your Account" options.

The staff at SAILS has reminded us that although email reminder notices are sent promptly, patrons have to make sure their email programs do not filter out this email. Add sirsi@salp.sailsinc.org to your approved sender list. It is always a good idea to check your account on line so that you will not accrue any overdue fines. Most items can be easily renewed. Remember that Fiske Library has no involvement with your email.

What's My Pin Number?
The catalog system requires a P.I.N. number when placing holds either here or at home. Your P.I.N. number in most cases is the last 4 digits of your telephone number. Some patrons were given a random number when they registered for a new card, this number was written on the card and/or told to you when you registered. You can ask for the number to be changed to the last four digits of your phone number. This is an extra level of security and allows you to access the catalog and your account to view current holds, items checked out and to renew books.

Once downloaded to your computer (see brochure at the front desk), you can transfer to a variety of devices, including iPod, NOOK, Sony Reader, dozens of MP3 players, and more. Best of all, titles automatically expire at the end of the lending period so there's no worry about late fees.

 If you can't find the book you're looking for in our digital collection or there's a long waiting list, you can buy the book for instant use from www.librarybin.com. This service benefits all the members of the SAILS Network because the network receives a portion of the proceeds. The proceeds are then used to purchase ebooks and audiobooks that are free to library patrons. Great way to support your library!! Just click on the "BUY IT NOW" icon.


 
 
 

Reference Services

MassCat
MassCat is a library catalog of holdings from school, medical, law, special and a few public libraries. While some of the more specialized and intriguing materials cannot be taken out of the library, MassCat member libraries are committed to sharing their resources. We invite you to search the database and should you find items of interest, you are encouraged to contact the library to arrange an appointment to view their most specialized materials or to talk to your library about borrowing the materials for you to use.

Digital Commonwealth
The Digital Commonwealth of Massachusetts is a portal to the rich cultural heritage held in museums, historical societies, colleges, libraries and other cultural repositories in Massachusetts. From this site you can search or browse the digital collections of member institutions throughout the state for manuscripts, images, historical
documents, and sound recordings. The portal provides you with enhanced access and retrieval of information.
