OPAC Overview
                selected search attribute (Title, for example) and pulled from what is in the library collection, to ensure
                that patrons are being directed to items that are in the catalog.

                • Mandarin M5 also includes a post-query filtering capability that enables patrons to refine their search

                to: show only available items, toggle between libraries, or filter by format, fiction vs nonfiction, reading
                level or publication dates.











































                •   The My List feature enables a patron to add selected records to a “Guest List” throughout the course
                of the search session. These records can then be saved, printed, or e-mailed. Guests Lists will be
                deleted as soon as the session refreshes when a user hits the “Reset” button or the session auto-
                refreshes after a configurable timeout period (the timeout period can be modified in Setup). Logged-in
                users may save and edit lists to access anytime they log in.

                • Authority Control users can view “See” and “See Also” references if there are more appropriate

                headings used by the library than the one searched for, or if there are other headings related to the
                search that may also be useful.

                Note: Authority Control is an optional module
                that may not be installed on your system.

                • An Interlibrary Loan (ILL) request system allows authorized users at cooperating libraries to e-mail

                loan requests.
