Setting Up My Encore

My Encore allows your library to link your WebPAC title links to your Encore catalog. Using My Encore enables the following behavior:

• When patrons logged-in to My Account click on bibliographic links, those links point to the Encore catalog. Pages supporting this behavior are:
  • Bookings
  • Checked Out titles
  • Holds
  • My Lists
  • Patron Ratings
  • Community Reviews
  • Programs
  • Reading History
  
  
  Links in the Book Cart similarly point to records in Encore.
• Offer an Encore Home link and search box on all system-generated and customizable pages that have a <!--{botlogo}--> token.

Links to your Encore catalog can vary by domain, context, language, and scope. If you have different Encore URLs that correspond to the scopes of different libraries, My Encore links to the appropriate URL based on the scope in use in WebPAC.
