Instructions for accessing MORE

2.      When asked if "you want Windows to remember this Password/PIN, so that you do not have to type it again the next time you vist this page?", please select "No". 

3.      Choose 3 or 4 libraries - you do not have to search ALL library catalogs (and it takes the system longer to complete your search if you do).

9.      Enter special instructions in the box provided ONLY if necessary (i.e. multi-part item)

10.  If the computer refuses to accept your submitted request, then there is a problem with your ACPDL library account and this needs to be cleared up before you precede any further.
