LINK+ online catalog for more than 70 libraries

LINK+ logo

Sonoma County Library customers now have a single connecting database that grants them access to the collections of all participating libraries. The LINK+ database is now available to Sonoma County Library cardholders. It’s a catalog of materials from more than 70 participating libraries in California and Nevada.

Who remembers “SuperSearch” that connected several North Bay libraries? I regularly sought items through these libraries’ combined resources until the database went down in 2012.

With that past reliance, I’ve long appreciated cooperative lending among partnering libraries — it greatly expands what each library can offer to their respective customers.

The LINK+ catalog gives patrons access to more than 9 million titles — Books, DVDs, CDs, and videos — from academic, public, and special libraries. You can place requests directly, no forms required, from a single online catalog. To access these resources, you need only log-in with your Sonoma County Library card.
