Ratings and reviews

Remarkably clumsy for the 21st century. I'm old enough to remember the first word processing programs. You had to be amazingly dedicated to get them to work. Entering some common characters in Wordstar on an Apple II required pressing five keys. And of course you would only see the results when you printed. One would think that a contemporary library search, across a multi site universe would be simple, kinda like google, but this sure isn't. Basically its author, title and pray.

There are some features from the catalog website that I miss here, but otherwise it's well done and works well. You can add multiple library cards, and see all their items on the same screen, which is great.

Great little app to see what is in the entire RCLS system and to place books on hold. The library will let you know when they've come in so you can just pick them up and of course you can peruse the catalog and request a book from any of the libraries in the ramapo Castle system
