Changes to Arizona State Library Databases

Beginning on July 1, 2014, the Arizona State Library will be providing a new collection of databases that will replace its current collection. Examples of online resources the State Library will no longer offer are MasterFile Premier, Consumer Reports, and MedlinePlus. The new collection will consist of 22 different database products, including Britannica Online, the library edition of Ancestry.com, and Chilton's car repair database.
The Yavapai County Library District will continue to supply other databases, including Tutor.com, Mango, Universal Class, and Zinio. You can access all of Sedona Library's state- and county-provided databases by clicking here.

Change to Popular Collection
|
To help with long wait lists for new materials, the Library has offered a first-come, first-serve collection of newly released books, DVDs, and CD books, which we call our popular collection. Any Yavapai Library Network cardholder can browse this collection and take home one pink-tape popular DVD plus a popular book and an audiobook. To ensure that popular items are available, we have not allowed them to be reserved by patrons of any library in the county, even Sedona patrons. Other county libraries have similar, non-holdable collections of new items.
Recently, the Yavapai Library Network changed its resource sharing policy so that all member libraries, including Sedona Library, will now allow reserves on ALL new titles purchased. Only additional copies of a title that a library acquires can be included in a first-come, first-serve collection such as our popular collection.
We will continue to order extra copies of the most in-demand books and DVDs to stock the popular section. However, since the collection will not include titles for which we have only one copy, we must unfortunately reduce the size of our popular collection. You can help by donating your new books when you've finished reading them!
