Interlibrary Loan Service
If you are unable to find a particular item at the Teton County Library, we will be happy to try to borrow the material from another library. We are able to acquire materials from libraries throughout the United States. The service is available to all Teton County Library cardholders with accounts in good standing.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) requests may be placed through the online catalog WYLDCAT, or online at Request Material, by telephone at 307-733-2164 ext. 105, via e-mail at “tetnill AT tclib.org”, or in person at the library.
Please note the following important information for ILL requests:
For Submitting -
• Items purchased or published within six months of the request date may not be interlibrary loaned. Please make these requests purchase suggestions for the Teton County Library for possible acquisition.
• A library card number is required to process all ILL requests.
• When requesting periodical articles, please include a full citation for the item (title of the article, author, name of publication, volume and number, month and year and page numbers). Without complete information your request cannot be processed or may be delayed.
For Fees and Arrival Date-
• General fees for requesting materials are $1.00 for books, videos and CDs, and 50 cents for periodical articles. Occasionally there are additional fees that originate from the lending library. Additional fees can range from $2.00 for videos to $75.00 for hard-to-find journal articles. If an additional fee applies to your request, you will be contacted prior to the placing of your order.
• It usually takes seven to 10 working days for in-state requests and up to three weeks for out-of-state requests to arrive. Once the request is submitted from our library, the process is in the hands of the lending library. Occasionally, there are delays and your patience is appreciated. Feel free to contact us at any time regarding the status of your ILL request at 307-733-2164 ext. 105.
For Returning-
• Due dates for ILL materials are set by the lending library and will be marked accordingly.
• Please return ILL materials on time, so that Teton County Library can maintain borrowing privileges for all patrons. Our privileges with other libraries may be jeopardized when any ILL material is overdue.

Tips on Attaching Your Digital Photos to E-mails
We have patrons come to the Computer and Information Center (CIC) all of the time fresh off the slopes, trails or returning from a road trip through the parks. They have pictures they want to e-mail from their cameras to their friends and family. I don’t know why, it just makes their friends and family mad that they are not here too! All of our adult Internet 1-hour computers and our YS Internet computers are set up so you can plug the USB cable from your digital camera in. As long as your camera is recognized by our computers as a disk drive (Like it would if you put you USB thumb drive in), you can view your pictures and attach them to e-mails. The large majority of digital cameras will work this way.
The newer digital cameras are very high resolution and make huge picture files. The higher the “Mega Pixels”, the bigger the file. I was just looking at photos from my 8 mega pixel camera and the file sizes are from 1.6 all the way up to 6 megabytes. 1.6 isn’t too bad, but be careful about sending too many 6 megabyte pictures as e-mail attachments. Your recipients could have trouble opening them because of a slow Internet connection or slow computer and you could fill up their e-mail inbox. We have programs on our computer that make it quick and easy to reduce the size of your pictures before sending. Our staff can help you if you need it.
On our adult 1-hour Internet computers, you can use Adobe Photoshop Elements, Microsoft Office Picture Manager and Picasa2. On our adult express and Youth Services Internet computers (For our youth patrons only), you can use Quick Time Picture Viewer.
We have one of our adult word processors equipped with Adobe Photoshop Elements, Microsoft Office Picture Manager and Picasa2, but this is strictly for editing your pictures due to our word processors not having Internet connections.
Adobe Photoshop Elements is also a powerful photo editing program with many features and we have started offered classes to the public on it.
Keep taking those pictures!

Safe Internet Tips at the Teton County Library
The web browsers on our adult Internet computers at the Teton County Library automatically clear the Internet “cache” when you are done using them. This includes those pesky “cookies”. An example of a cookie would be when you go to check your e-mail on a site such as Hotmail and it remembers your account ID. It does that by saving cookies on the computer that you are using. If you see options on account access web pages that give you the choice to remember you or your password, it is always a good idea to decline those options on public computers. There are usually check boxes to select those options or not.
Try to use sites that are “secure” when personal information is being sent or viewed over the Internet. Some sites such as bank account access sites are secure. This means that the data that is sent back and forth between the computer you are using and the website host is encrypted. So if you are looking at your checking account statement, the data is scrambled by the host and then unscrambled by your web browser so that you can ready it. Conversely, if you enter your credit card number on a secure site, it is scrambled by your web browser and then unscrambled at the host’s end. Different web browsers tell you that they are on secure websites in different ways. Some use a padlock symbol on the screen. Look for the website address in the address bar on the top of the browser window. If the site is secure, the address of the site will start with https as opposed to just http. For example; Google would be https://www.google.com if it were secure and http://www.google.com if it were not secure.
The Teton County Library offers open wireless Internet access to the public
The Teton County Library wireless network provides open wireless Internet access for owners of wireless ready laptop computers. If your laptop has a compatible, working, correctly configured internal or external wireless card, you can access the Internet from the Library’s network.
If your laptop does not already have wireless capabilities, you can check out and install a wireless card and software. You will need to check out and install the wireless card software the first time you use it. On subsequent visits, you will need only to check out and insert the card. The network card uses the 802.11b wireless standard. These packages can be checked out at the Library’s Front Desk.
To access the Internet using the Library’s open wireless access point, you need:
A wireless ready laptop computer.
Your wireless network card configured to obtain IP address automatically and obtain DNS address automatically. New laptops are pre-configured to work this way and will work with the Library’s network with no changes. See Trouble Shooting Guide for tips.
Your computer needs to find and associate with the wireless network. This usually happens automatically. The Teton County Library wireless network is called TCL and does not require passwords or user information. See Trouble Shooting Guide for tips.
Library staff cannot assist you with your computer. The staff can test and confirm that our wireless network is up and running.
There is no provision for printing from the wireless network. You may save your work to a floppy disk, CD or USB thumb drive and reserve computer time at the Library’s Computer Center to print documents.
You maintain all responsibility for your laptop. The Library does not provide any virus protection. For your security, you may wish to turn off any shared files you have while you are connected to the Internet.
The Library’s wireless network provides you with Internet access; however, the performance of specific Internet web sites depends on many factors which are beyond the Library’s control.
Your use of the Library’s wireless network must adhere to all existing Library policies, including behavior and computer policies. Disruptive or illegal use of your computer, its programs or the Library’s network may result in suspension of library privileges and potential prosecution.
Sign up for Computers at the Teton County Library!
Computers are “Available”
We have a new scheduling system at the Teton County Library for our adult and youth computers. You can still reserve your computers the same way you always have by phone or at the computer desk, but now you can make reservations yourselves from our Reservation Stations or even just sit down and start using one. Here is how:
Look for any of our Book Search computers that have receipt printers next to them.
Click on “Next Available PC” to find the next available computer, or “Future Reservation” to reserve your computer up to one week in advance.
To reserve the next available computer, just enter your library card number.
If you see an open computer check to see what it says on the screen. If it says “Available”, you can use that computer just by entering your library card number or a nickname at our Express Internet computers. If it says “Reserved”, look on that same screen to see what time it is reserved for. If it is not immediately, you can sign in and use it for the maximum time or the time remaining until it is reserved.
Our 15-minute Express Internet computers are still here for you to just sit down and use any time one is available, or you can wait in line if they are all in use. You do not need a library card number for those. Sit down and enter your name or a nickname and start surfing.
As always, our staff is here to help when you need it.
Please come and try our new system out! We would be happy to show you how it works!
