  1. This link is not working for me, and I couldn't find a login page through Google. Will you please copy and paste the link for patrons to log in to NoveList Plus?

  2. Oops! Sure thing. The link has been updated. It will actually take you to the page where you can find the actual link to the database from our website. Unfortunately, since we're in the building, our IP address is recognized so it takes you right into the database. But the new link should do it for remote users. :-)
