What is a Password/PIN and how do I get one?
A Password/PIN is a form of secondary identification that you use along with your library card number to access your patron record or place holds online.
MVLC libraries have differing policies on how you get your PIN. Your best bet is to call your local library to find out their policy.
Why do you need a PIN? Information about what you have out from the library is confidential information protected by law. The PIN helps assure your privacy.
What is your Privacy Policy regarding patron information?
The full text of our privacy policy can be found here.
Where do I find the brief summary of the books I query?
There are two potential summaries a user can view. One is within the bibliographic record itself and you access that by clicking on the 'More Info" button at the bottom of the bibliographic record.
The second are summaries (and other information) provided via a third party source. Those you access by clicking on the appropriate tab just above the item display.
