Mobile Catalog

WCCLS provides multiple methods of searching and finding library materials, and access to your patron account online. Two of these are

• the main catalog
• the alternate catalog

You can use these catalogs at any time.

We also had the MobilePAC; this was retired on Tuesday, September 17, 2019. There are a couple of reasons for this decision:

• Use of the MobilePAC has declined significantly over the last 18 months
• WCCLS provides two other fully functional, mobile-responsive catalogs for the public

If you need help, here’s where to go

If you run into any trouble getting to the main or alternate catalogs, here are a couple of things you can try:

• Clear your browser cache
• Change your bookmarks/favorites to point to the new catalog

For additional information, you can:

• Learn more about the new catalog
• Ask a question using the catalog help form

Why does WCCLS not have a mobile app?

We chose to make the WCCLS catalog available in an internet browser for a number of reasons.

1. To ensure the widest levels of access to the service. The catalog is neither device- nor operating system-specific.
2. To save the time and money required to develop multiple apps for specific mobile platforms.
3. Some areas of Washington County do not have access to high-speed internet. We hope the streamlined nature of a mobile-responsive catalog will be of benefit to people without a fast connection.
