1. How can I get email alerts about new library materials of interest to me?

To receive email notices, first make sure that your correct email address is entered in your library account. Then create one or more Preferred Searches for your favorite authors of the moment, subjects, titles, etc.. My Millennium will automatically notify you when new library materials arrive that match your preferred searches. These alerts are available by email only.

2. How do I create Preferred Searches?

Start by logging in to your library account. Then use the search bar at the top of the screen to search. When you get your search results you will see the "Save as Preferred Search" button. You can mark any search for an author, title, keyword, or subject that interests you as a "Preferred Search" by clicking the "Save as Preferred Search" button.

For example, if you search on the subject "organic gardening" while in your own account, and click the "Save as Preferred Search" button, you will be notified when new books with that subject heading are added. If you search by an author's name, and click the button, you will be notified when any new books by that author are added.

3. Is there a limit to the number of Preferred Searches?

Yes, the maximum number of preferred searches you can have at one time is 25. You can cancel any search and set up a new one whenever you want.
