Online Access

Did you know that you can access the Citrus County Library's database from your home computer?  All you need is an internet connection and a telnet program.

What You Can Do From Home

You can search the database just as if you were at the library terminal.  Certain research resources are only available to you at the library terminal.

From your home computer you can do a variety of things:

• Search for books
• Request title from other branches be sent to your nearest branch for pickup
• Make interlibrary loan request for books in library outside of our County

The following on-line services require you to know your library card and PIN numbers.

Your library card number is printed on your card.
Your PIN number is the last 4 digits of your SS#.

(If you did not give your SS# when you obatined your library card then you will not be able to access the Borrower Information or request books by telnet.)

• Check to see what books you have on loan
• Check to see if any books you have borrowed are overdue
• Renew books on line

Many internet browsers currently on the market can be used to telnet.  Find out if you browser is properlyconfigured by typing the following into location window of your browser:  telnet://ALPHA.CCLIB.ORG or click this link.   After you are connected, log in as "guest".

If this did not work for you then you may need to configure your browser properly or download a free TELNET program..

The following site explains how to configure your browser and has a link to a site where you can download a telnet program.

How Do You Use This Database

The best way to learn to use the libary system is to go to your local branch and ask a librarian to explain the computer terminal to you.  They are more than willing to help you to learn to use the library resources.  You can also tour the library as a group if you prefer.
