eMedia Center patrons login with a Library Pin Number to access their library's database from home, office, school - anywhere there is an Internet connection.  Once logged in a patron can perform the following tasks:

	Search their library's Materials database which includes books, eMaterials, periodicals, and all other catalogued media.
	Check-out eMaterials such as ebooks, media and sound clips, classroom resource materials, etc. using the Microsoft Reader, and Adobe Glassbook reader which can be downloaded from the eMedia Center home page.
	Reserve checked out materials.
	Review their own patron record for checkouts, reserves and fines.
	Access the library's calendar of events to keep informed regarding important library activities.
	Launch an Internet research session via the autolib.com Online Reference Desk which has quick links for any type of research.

The Desktop Library, accessed only by the librarian, stores the library's databases on our Internet server. Once online the librarian logs in (with the proper login information) the following tasks can be performed via any Internet computer:

	Material data entry of books, periodicals, eMaterials, audio-visual equipment, and all other library media.
	Borrower data entry for new and existing borrowers.
	All library circulation functions: material check out, material check in, reserve materials, material renewals.
	Pay fines for overdue books.
	Email (or print) overdue notices, fines and reserve notices to all applicable borrowers at the click of a button.
	Update the library's calendar of events as needed.  This calendar can be viewed by patrons visiting the eMedia Center on the Internet.
	Update the library's Information Editor listing hours, location, facilities, library homepage and other website links (also viewed by patrons).
	All database maintenance (such as indexing and backup) as well as any software updates are performed by MC² SYSTEMS personnel at the library server itself.  The librarian accesses, edits and adds to the data on the server via the Internet without worrying about database maintenance procedures.
