This site offers basic instructions for ordering books through the CTBL on-line system. You will also have the option of using the Help link on the website if you have difficulties at anytime during your session.

Anyone can freely browse the CTBL collection at anytime. However, to order books, you will need to contact the library to get a User ID and Password.

*NOTE - There are two new availability options when ordering from the WebOPAC. Books listed as "download only" are only available through the BARD website. More information is located on the BARD page of our website. The other option is "on demand" which is currently limited to books in the Colorado collection. A copy of an on-demand book will be made when a rush order is placed on the book.

The following list of letters at the beginning of a book number indicate the media type for that item:

• BR - Braille Book
• CC - Cassette book from the Colorado Collection
• DB - Digital Book
• DC - Digital book from the Colorado Collection
• PR - Large Print Book
