  • Opening An Account
    Opening an Account is free to any public, corporate, academic, instructional or institutional library in the United States and Overseas.

    On the Login Page, at the top and center of the login table, there is a button which says. "Create Login (Register)". Click that button. You will be taken to a page which allows you to enter your personal information. Please use the name, email, phone, and mailing address of the person at your library who will ultimately be handling the ongoing receipt and mailing of packages to and from other libraries.

    Your account name and full contact information will be displayed when registered Exchange libraries preview their orders for items that you have listed. Your name and contact information will also be emailed to registered Exchange libraries when you request an item from them.

    Once you have created an Account, you are considered to be a Registered member. You can post items to the database, and Search and Browse other libraries' listings, order items and view other libraries' contact information.

    You can update the name, address, or password on your account at any time, using the "Update My Account" link from the Login Page or the Database. However, your ID will remain the same unless you directly request a change from the Exchange site manager, whose contact information can be found at the bottom of this page.

  • Browsing       To the Top
    Once you have logged in to the Duplicate Copies Exchange, you will see a bar of six tabs. The first tab on the list is the Browse tab. When you Click it with your mouse, you will see a second bar of only three tabs appear directly below the first. Select the format of the items in the database that you would like to browse.

    Items are listed alphabetically by title for browsing under each format. The default letter that will be displayed automatically is "A". You will see all of the items of your chosen format whose titles begin with A, including titles that begin with the word "The" followed by a word that begins with "A".

    To the left of each title, you will see a checkbox. Check the checkboxes next to the items that you would like to order and then submit your selections by clicking the "Order Journal" (or Book or Media) submit button at the very bottom of the Database page. The items you have checked will then be added to your "Orders" list.

    You can view your Orders list at any time by selecting the Orders tab on the top tabs bar, near the center. You can read more about Ordering in that Hints section further below.
