Stationed at the top of our website, www.jclc.org, sits an unassuming little box. Encore is a work in progress. The libraries of Jefferson County are excited to offer a fresher, interactive catalog search experience. Some of the innovative features of encore are spelling suggestions, tag clouds and more visual appeal. Take a look. Here is what other patrons are saying about encore:

"I like it. It’s like browsing a bookstore website." –Tiffany Bence, Homewood.

"…The new layout is great. It makes searching the catalog so much easier." –Ebony Blake, Birmingham.

At the moment, the current catalog will remain and run parallel to encore. As encore is refined, and more features are added, it will eventually replace the current catalog. To find out more, go to what is it?.
