• How do I search for a book in the library catalog?

  To find a book in the library catalog, simply perform a search on a keyword, title, author, etc. You will be provided with a list of search results. To view the details of each record, click on Full Details. The section of the library where the book can be found or the Dewey Decimal call number will be displayed there. If you need help locating the book in the library, please ask a staff member for help.

• What is WYLD?

  WYLD stands for "The Wyoming Libraries Databases" and includes the collections of more than 80 libraries, statewide licenses to magazine article databases, and more. The Sublette County Library's collection is part of this statewide database. WYLD is managed and by the Wyoming State Library and it helps Wyoming citizens share resources by common access to the statewide database of over a million titles owned by Wyoming libraries.

  
  
  
• How do I place a hold or request an item that is currently checked out?

  To place a hold or request an item, click on the button labeled Request which appears to the left of the item information in the full details screen. If you have not already logged in with your library card and PIN, you will be asked to verify this information. If there is more than one volume available for this item, you may be asked to select a particular volume for your hold. If an item is not available at your library, you can still request it through the inter library loan process. Holds which are placed on items outside your own library may not display immediately in your Account record.

• How do I request an item from another library?
  If we don't have an item you want but is found in another WYLD library or at the University of Wyoming, you can request an interlibrary loan (ILL) by clicking on the Request button from the full details screen. There is a $2.00 charge, and the lending library may have additional charges. Learn more about ILLs here.
  
  You can also request material if you cannot find any record in WYLDCAT by clicking on the Request Material link in the navigation menu at the top of the catalog and filling out the appropriate form as completely as possible.
  
  Each of these types of requests will be processed by library staff and may not display as part of your account activity in the My Account section of WYLDCAT right away. If you have any questions about your pending requests, please contact us at 367-4114 or info@sublettecountylibrary.org.
  
  If you think others will benefit should the library purchase the item you are requesting, you may recommend it for purchase instead. Recommendations for purchase take a longer time than interlibrary loans, but if time is not a factor, you may recommend an item for purchase here.
