Would you like to have a quick, easy way to know when books you've asked us to order are available in the Libraries' collection? Use My Blais, and you can receive email notification when one of the titles you've requested is cataloged.

You will find My Blais at the top of the Blais catalog menu page (http://blais.claremont.edu).

• Log in using your name and the 10-digit ID number on your new college ID card.
• Once you're logged in, click on "Search the Catalog," and search by title of the item you've asked us to order. Since we probably don't already own an item you've asked us to order, your search will result in "no matches found."
• At the top of the results list, beside the space where you could type a new search, you'll see a button: "Save search as preferred search." Click this button and the title will be added to your list of preferred searches.
• Next, click on the red button labeled "Return to your record," where you will see an option called "Preferred Searches."
• Click on "Preferred Searches" to find your saved title search.
• On the Preferred Searches page, click in the box in the "Mark for Email" column in front of the title, and we will email you as soon as a new item with that title is cataloged.
• To continue using your My Blais account, click on the "Return to your record" button. To exit your account, click on the "Start Over" button.

You can also use the preferred searches option in My Blais to be notified when new books by a particular author or with a specific subject heading are added to the collection.

For more information about ordering materials for the Libraries' collection, please contact your Subject Specialist (http://libraries.claremont.edu/about/dirs/subjspecs.asp). For more information about My Blais and preferred searches, contact your Subject Specialist or Candace Lebel, Innopac Coordinator, candace.lebel@libraries.claremont.edu.
