Canad Library is part of the peninsula library system
which means we are connected to both the Skyline Community College
and San Mateo Community College and the local public libraries from
Portola Valley to Daly City each purple dot represents
a peninsula library you can also go to
plsinfo.org/map
to get more information on which library is part of the peninsula system.
if you happen to have a library card from any of these libraries you can use it at Canada
to search for books click on the books tab
tap then select Search Canada Library
from the drop down menu I'm going to use the example
had health care reform books will be displayed
based on relevancy which is how many times you search words come
up click on a book to learn more about its
so you can see that our search terms how they did
inbred here check the status a book
to see if it's a
double check shell means that it's available nice to see that
its at 3 other Peninsula libraries
right down the call number the book which is this right here
we use the lever congress system at accept these other ones
are doing just moments slightly different but it's just a way to
organize all books by subject
call numbers are like addresses for bugs me tell you where book
is located in the library
let's break down this coming up for it to understand how it works
so are right here corresponds with
any subject covering medicine are a is more specific
in corresponds to him the subjects covering that public aspects and
medicine
now addition up the numbers
it gets even more specific so RIAA
for 12.2 covers
medical care plans thank you corresponds the author's last name
a sense there's a lot of parents who have last name that began 6q
the number 33 corresponds to our specific author
which is choke on that now and bite me
that date at the end here 2005 corresponds the date that the book was
published
now all call numbers look exactly the same sometimes they're not create the
year
and sometimes they have three months letters and numbers all correspond to
the book subject
so if you find one book you like you often find other books on the same
subject
right next to it know what if you can't find a book at our library
you can search through the entire peninsula by pay system
have books and taking out a free of charge instead of searching just Canada
search all pls library casing

get into the library databases if you have trouble with
this you can always contact the library see we can make sure your account
is updated no notice that says you're going to
fifty cents fini if you have something sent taking out a
you will not be charged the 50 cent key wake up for everyone because we believe
it should cost you extra to do

arrive
