Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Patron guides to the OPAC
We have a very very basic Catalog FAQ page here on our public website (and linked from within our OPAC): http://www.kentcountylibrary.org/using/catalogfaq.php It's short, but as befitting its name of FAQ it reflects the issues that we get the most questions about.
