MyOPL Catalogue

• In the top right, click Log In / My Account.

• Click Log In / Register.

• Enter in your barcode and PIN.

• The site will prompt you to register an account, choose your username, and set your preferences.  The next time you log in, you can use either your username or Library card number.

• Registration sets you up to manage your MyOPL account from one location - search for physical and digital (coming soon!) items in one catalogue, renew items, and easily link to place holds.
• Registration allows you to create an easy to remember username to log in, interact with other library patrons, get personalized recommendations, and contribute ratings and reviews.
• Since this catalogue is a new service the library is providing, users have to be aware of and agree to the terms of use.

Always Private

If you don’t want your username to show up anywhere, don't add any of these things to a catalogue record. 

Things you can make private

These items are visible by default, but you have the option to make them private.

• My Shelves/My Collections – Completed, In Progress, For Later
• Activity Feed
• If you add information to the "My Profile" section of your account, it will be visible to others when they click on your name
• Lists -- when publishing a list, you can choose to share the list or keep it visible only to you.

Once you are on your "Checked Out" page, use the checkboxes to select the desired titles and then click Renew. You can narrow your list to just the items that are about to be due by clicking on "Due soon" on the left hand side.

If you had lists created in our old catalogue we saved these lists for you. To see them again, you need to Import them into MyOPL. Once you log in to your account, go to My Library Dashboard by clicking on your name in the top right corner. If you had lists, you should see a notice like this:

Click on Request Import to begin the process. After the work is done, you will find them in your Lists section (click on Lists in the dropdown under your name). You may find that some lists have been broken into multiple new lists but your items should all be there. See "How do I move items from my Imported lists to my Shelves in MyOPL Catalogue?" for more information.

Unfortunately, your borrowing history from the old catalogue was unable to be transferred, however, library staff have access to print the list for you so you can add the items to your Completed Shelf. Moving forward, be sure to enable your borrowing history in My Settings in MyOPL (available under your name in the top right corner).  You would have had to ask library staff to keep your borrowing history in the old catalogue for it to be kept - most people did not have any of their borrowing history kept.

In the dropdown list with your name on it in the top right corner, find My Settings and click on it to find the spot to enable keeping your borrowing history. Click on Change and slide the dot to the right on the new page to enable the setting. Don't forget to click on Save Changes.

Once you are in the list that you want to move to your shelves, find the little tab to the right of the list item:

When you click on that tab, it will automatically add the item to your For Later Shelf. If you would prefer to have that on your Completed or your In Progress Shelf instead, click on it and change the dropdown in the opened menu to Completed or In Progress:

Your items should now be in the old list AND on your For Later, Completed or In Progress shelves.
