LINKcat is the online catalog of the Dane County Library Service (DCLS)—and so much more! When you use LINKcat you have access to library materials from over 40 libraries that are members of the South Central Library System. You may use your DCLS library card to request any of these library materials, check the status of your requests, see when items you've borrowed are due, and renew those items--as long as someone else isn't waiting for them.
