Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Library
Dear Friends--
You may now access the catalog of the PYM Library (in
Friends Center) from your own desk. The library's web
page address is www.pym.org/library.
Then click on "search catalog."
You can check if the library collection has what
you are looking for, and even see whether it is available
or in circulation, as of the moment. And, you
can make lists for your files, to print, or to send
to anyone, or e-mail lists of requests to the library.

How to make a list of requests and e-mail them to
the Library
* After you have gotten into the catalog...
* Click on "Enter search words" bar
* Type word or words you want to search
for. If it is a title, click on icon for title. If
it is an author, make sure the author's last name
is typed in first, and then their first, then click
on author icon. If it is a subject, click on
subject icon.
* Keep pressing enter until you get
to the actual book or video record that you want
to have sent to you. There you will see an
icon for the "bookbag" on the left side of the record. Click
on it to add the title to your request list.
* Once you have all your desired titles
added, click on the book-bag icon at the top right
side of the screen. This will show you the
whole list of what you've put in.
* Now click on "printer friendly" and
you will have a list that can be printed out (and
mailed to us if you like), or copied into an e-mail
message to the PYM Library at library@pym.org
* Special tips: Most computers are set
to accept "cookies"
which are required to use the bookbag feature. If
you have altered your software to reject cookies,
the bookbag will not work. If you can use the
bookbag, remember to empty it when you are done with
your list because it will not empty by itself, even
if you turn off your computer.
