NIESC Online Media Catalog Ordering Instructions

* In order to process an online request, you must have Internet access, you must be a member of our service center, you must have an account in our system which consists of a password and a PIN number, and allow a 14- day lead time to process the media order. You may print these instructions for easy access later. For questions or more information, contact Lisa Abell at NIESC: 800-326-5642 or labell@niesc.k12.in.us.

1. With your mouse hover over Media  in the navigational menu on our homepage then click on the Search and Order Online words with your left mouse button.

    

2. To Log In: Click on the "Bookings" link in the top blue interactive blue tool bar, enter your password and borrower number (ID/PIN) in the space provided and click "Login". Verify your name and location and click "Catalog Home" at the bottom of the page. The Password and Borrower PIN are not case-sensitive.

    

3.  In the find box, type either the title, subject, or title number of the item you wish to borrow, select the grade level (un-check all grade levels box first) then click search. The Sort, Search, Find, and Show options edit how the items are displayed on your page. The area titled MEDIA is where you select what type of item you would like to have displayed.

    

4. To search for new items only, type your subject in the find box, click on the New Titles button. To narrow this by grade level, select grade level below the find box to see everything in the catalog at the given level under a certain subject.

    

5. To see everything in the catalog, select grade level; click your cursor in the find box. Hit your space bar once and click search. It may take some time to load everything, but it will show everything in the library at the selected grade level. To minimize the load time, in the SHOW area on the bottom right, select SUMMARY. This will just give the title names, grades, type of media and length of media.

    

6. After finding the item you wish to borrow, click the read order link to the right of the page.

9. At this screen it will tell you your order is complete. If you do not get a message stating "Title Order Complete" you may have missed a step or failed to click order through three pages. You may continue to order as long as you are online. The system "remembers" your PIN Number and Password so that you don't have to add any information other than the date when you continue to stay logged on and continue to order. To logout, click logout at the top of the page or simply close your browser.
