About "My account" and profile
"My account" is used to change the personal and security details that you set up
at registration and to create or update your search profile.
The search profile applies each time you search or browse through the catalogue.
The profile contains filters that will remove some books from your search
results. For example, if you do not read braille or large print you can
set the search formats to streamed audio and Daisy CD so that you will only see
books that are available as audio in the search results. The results will show
if an audio book is also available as braille but you would not see books that
are only in braille or large print.
The filters that you can apply are:
-
Formats
-
Languages
-
Narrator gender for audio books
-
The running time for audio books
-
Number of volumes for braille books
Once you have set these you select the update button to save your changes and
these filters will apply to all searches from then on. You can use the advanced
search option to override these options for a specific search.
