Ocean County Library's online catalog lets you get to the library from anywhere... home, school, or business. If you had problems connecting to our on-line catalog in the past, now not even firewalls will keep you from getting connected! If you don't want to use a mouse to navigate the catalog - one is no longer required! See the OCL Library Catalog Brochure for Keyboard Commands.

With the "My List" feature, the OCL Catalog makes it simple to create personalized lists of materials you know you want to check out in the future; this eliminates the need to re-run searches for material you've already found. After logging in and conducting a search, click on the item's title on the Search Results screen to display detailed Item Information. To add the item to your personal list without requesting it, click on the "Add to my list" button.

If you have a problem connecting to the Catalog, or if you wish to report any other issues regarding the Catalog, you may contact us using this form.
