Q. What do I need to get a library card?

A. Library cards are free to residents of Martin County and to Martin County property owners. All that is required to obtain a library card is proof of residency such as a driver's license with a local address, voter's registration card, Florida state identification card or a Martin County tax bill. Nonresidents can purchase a one year card for $50.

The charge for replacement of any library card is $1.00.
Children under 16 require parental signature to obtain a library card.

Temporary Card:
Created for people getting established in the county, if their ID does not yet show a Martin County address. This gives them 30 days to present ID showing a local address or proof of residency (a utility or phone bill, checks with their name and a Martin County address, or lease aggreement). There is a limit of 5 items that can be checked out.

Q. How many items can I check out?

A. There is a limit of 30 items that can be checked out. An item can be renewed up to five (5) times as long as there are no holds on the item.

Q. Can residents of St. Lucie County check out library books from the Martin County Library System?

A. St. Lucie County residents, as well as all other users residing outside Martin County, will need to purchase a non-resident card to borrow materials or use the computer.

Services available from home

Q. What services can be accessed from my home computer?

A. The library has a number of services available to those patrons who have a home computer with internet access. The library catalog can be accessed from outside the library by either going to the library's homepage at http://www.library.martin.fl.us and clicking on the "Library Catalog" icon or by going directly to the catalog at http://www.lib.martin.fl.us. Besides the ability to search the catalog for books and other materials, patrons have the ability to reserve materials, renew materials, place interlibrary loan requests, check their accounts and offer suggestions to the library staff. Steps detailing how to access these services are explained below.

The library also offers access to several databases through the library's homepage. To access these databases select "Research It" from the menu, then click on Databases. To access any of the databases, select a database by clicking on its icon and enter your library card number. The database will open in a new window.

Q. How do I reserve a book from home?

A. Patrons who have computers with internet access can reserve materials from home by following these steps:

1. Access the library's catalog through this homepage at http://www.library.martin.fl.us.
2. Select Library Catalog from the menu..
3. Find the item you are looking for in the catalog by entering title, author, etc. If more than one item is displayed you will need to click on the "Details" link to the left of the call number for the item you want, this will display the full record and show whether the item is available.
4. If the item is checked out, you can place a hold on the item by clicking on the "Place Hold" link on the left. Put your library card number in on the next screen, select which branch you want to pick the item up at, and click "place hold." You will then get a screen showing your name and the title of the item placed on hold - click "OK" to confirm the information. Your hold has now been placed and you will be called when the item you requested is available.

Q. How do I check my library account?

A. To check your account, go into the library catalog (either at the library or at home by going to http://www.library.martin.fl.us) and select "My Account" from the menu. Click on "Review My Account" and enter your library card number. You can now view information on your library account such as which books you have checked out and when they are due, holds you have placed, any fines you may have accumulated, etc.

Q. If the library doesn't have a particular book I want, can it be borrowed from another library?

A. In most cases, yes. The library does provide interlibrary loan service for borrowing items not held within the Martin County Library System. Items held by other branches within the MCLS can be requested by placing a hold on the item. Patrons can request materials through interlibrary loan at the Blake Reference Desk. The limit is three interlibrary loans at a time. We will try to obtain materials from other libraries but the decision whether or not to lend the material is up to the lending library and some materials such as reference books, items from special collections such as genealogy, audiotapes, videotapes, and loose-leaf materials, will not be lent ever. Books published within the last year also cannot be borrowed through interlibrary loan. Interlibrary loans will normally take 4 weeks, sometimes longer, to arrive so please be patient. We will notify you when your interlibrary loan arrives.

Q. How do I renew items from home?

A. Patrons with a home computer and access to the internet can renew items electronically by going to the library web site (http://www.library.martin.fl.us), and selecting "My Account" from the menu. Click on "Renew My Materials" and enter your library card number (WITHOUT ANY SPACES OR DASHES). You will see a list of which items you have checked out and the date they are due. To renew individual items, check the box next to the item(s) and click "Renew Selected Items" - the due date will be extended two weeks from the present date (or one week for videos). To renew all items, click "Renew All" - the due date will be extended two weeks from the present date (or one week for videos). Items which have holds waiting cannot be renewed.

Q. How do I recommend a book for purchase?

A. Purchase recommendations can be made either at the library by submitting a suggestion form or from home for those patrons with a computer and internet access. Go to the library catalog (http://www.lib.martin.fl.us), click on the "Can't Find It..." link at the top of the screen. Type in the author, title and any other information you have on the item you are recommending for purchase and click "Submit". The library's collection development committee will review your suggestion.

Q. What is required to use the library's internet computers?

A. A Martin County library card is required to use the library's internet computers. Martin County residents can obtain a library card at any branch. These computers receive heavy use and therefore there is a 45-minute time limit on them if others are waiting.

Q. How do I sign-up to use the library's computers?

A. You can sign-in to use one of the library's computers through the library's PC Reservation system with your Martin County library card. Each library has a sign-in computer where you can enter your library card number and the PC Reservation system will assign you a computer and a PIN number to unlock the assigned computer. Sessions are for 45 minutes, this time can be extended in 15 minute increments if no one else is waiting for a computer. No sign-in is required to use the library computers with the catalog and library databases.

Q. Is there a charge for printing from the library computers?

A. Print jobs cost $.25 per page and are sent to a print release station where they are held in queue until paid for and then released to a networked laser printer.

Printing is available in color for $1.00 per page.
Print jobs will be held in the print queue for two hours before they are purged.
The coin box attached to the print release station will accept nickels, dimes, quarters, $1 bills, and $5 bills and provides change.

Q. Does the library have any software that be checked out?

Convert docx files to doc, pdf, odt and txt

This is a Free service; however, the site is littered with advertisements and pop-ups.

Posted April 10, 2007 on http://blog.zamzar.com
Filed under: Announcements

Update: Zamzar also now supports the conversion of xlsx files and pptx files.

We like to keep in touch with new file formats here at Zamzar and we’re proud to announce support for online conversion of the new Microsoft Office 2007 DOCX format. The format is based on open XML standards and will undoubtedly be great for future interopability, but what happens when you’re stranded with a .docx file and no copy of MS Office 2007 to view it with ?

Well you can now use Zamzar to convert docx files into any one of the following formats (including older versions of MS Office which only open .doc files):

doc - Microsoft Word Doc odt - OpenDocument Text Doc pcx - Paintbrush Bitmap Image pdf - Portable Document Format

png - Portable Network Graphic ps - Postscript Doc txt - Text Doc

To convert from docx simply head over to Zamzar, select the docx file you want to convert from your computer and enjoy !

Note: Conversions won’t work for .docx files created with pre-release versions of MS Word 2007.

Happy Converting !

pdf printing and excessively long names

Hi Folks,

You might try this the next time a patron wants to print a pdf file or a pdf file locks up a printer.

Ron Disbrow

Martin County Library System

Stuart, Florida

Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Subject: pdf printing and excessively long names

It is common (I don’t know why) for on line .pdf documents to have excessively long names. With Envisionware our patrons are not able to print them out. If a .pdf does get sent to the printer (with an excessively long name) it will traditionally be a blank page with gobbledygook lining one side of the page.

Our work around:

Have patron save the .pdf to the desktop.

Rename file to shorter name.pdf.

Send .pdf to the printer.

This works every time I’ve tried.

Central air conditioner brands and models

Subject: RE: Central air conditioner brands and models

www.ceedirectory.org/ceedirectory/pages/ac/cee/defaultSearch.aspx

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOURCE: http://www.consumersearch.com/www/house_and_home/central-air-conditioners/review.html

Central air conditioner brands and models

The major air conditioner manufacturers make multiple brands, and industry experts say that these brands are not distinct. (With other types of products, manufacturers often have a premium brand and a budget brand.) The logo on a unit or the appearance might be the only things that distinguish different brand products from the same manufacturer. Bryant/Carrier, American Standard/Trane, Lennox/Ducane and Rheem/Ruud are each "twin" brands. Goodman makes the Amana, Goodman, Janitrol and GmC brands.

Without the aid of credible reviews or guidance from contractors, we cannot identify the best models. As described above, the Goodman brands have detractors and defenders. They may be supported by contractors who are trying to sell on price alone. Contractor comments and inferences paint them as a budget alternative.

The models we mention here appear on the lists of Jim Dulley, GreenGuide.com and the few other sources that identify any specific models as worth considering. We emphasize that these are weak recommendations. They are not based on testing or even experience with a brand. Instead, they come from evaluation of product information and perhaps brand reputation. These sources focus on higher-end models.

The 20 SEER Bryant 187 Evolution Series stands out. It's a two-stage model, which means it operates on low speed most of the time. That keeps room temperatures consistent and minimizes electricity use. The Evolution Series uses R-410A (Puron) refrigerant. Bryant includes a ten-year warranty on the compressor and five years on other parts. The Trane XL 19i is a 19.5 SEER model that fits the same description, as does the 21 SEER Carrier Infinity Series.

The Lennox XC21 is a two-stage 20.5 SEER central air conditioner. It has a ten-year limited warranty on all "covered" parts. Lennox engineered this model with a variety of noise reduction technologies; the company claims noise levels as low as 69 decibels, which it says is "13 times quieter than a standard air conditioner."

The American Standard Allegiance 18 could be considered a step down from the above models. This 18.9 SEER air conditioner uses the outgoing R-22 refrigerant. It is a two-stage unit with a 10/5 warranty and is also made to run relatively quietly.

The 15 SEER Carrier Performance Series is another step down. It's also rated to run as quietly as 69 decibels. A 10/5 warranty is included. Some models in the series use R-410A, others use R-22. They are single-stage air conditioners (which means they are either on or off).

The Lennox Merit Series 13ACD is a 14 SEER air conditioner with a scroll compressor, which typically does not require a suction valve. It uses R-410A refrigerant. Those are nice features for a low-efficiency air conditioner. Because it lacks a ten-year warranty on the compressor, we identify it as a lower-end central air conditioner that might be a very good value if you are happy with the price or don't plan to stay in your home long enough to recoup the higher cost of a more efficient unit. A shorter warranty can be an indication of lower quality, but it can also be a marketing tool used to lower the sales price. A shorter warranty is especially worth considering if you don't expect to stay in your home for a long time.
