Catalog Features

Bookshelves

So many books, so little time! Create a bookshelf in our account instead of placing holds.

We recommend that patrons create Bookshelves to track items of interest through their profiles. You can categorize items as Completed, In Progress, or For Later. Save your picks, public or private, and share them through a custom link.

To add an item to your bookshelf, search the catalog and click on the Add to Bookshelf button, where you can select from three different categories. Items in your bookshelf can be updated later by selecting the Profile tab from the top of the screen.

Sharing of booklists

With ChiliPAC, you can create and share booklists while maintaining control over your privacy. When a user creates a booklist, they choose whether it is public (which appears in library search results and on their profile), private (visible only to people they have shared the booklist URL with), or draft (accessible only to them). Any ChiliPAC user can create as many booklists as they need for various purposes. Library staff can access your lists if you need assistance. 

Create booklists for multiple purposes, such as by genres, hobby lists, cookbooks, or best reads, to share with friends.

Social Media Connection

Social media sharing is also available in the public booklist view. A permanent URL is created for a booklist to share through email, chat, messaging apps, or on social media.

Users can download the booklist as a PDF.
