The Find Books dashboard will be available on a member sign in. A member can use the dashboard to search for books either by the title or the ISBN (International Standard Book Number). Once they enter the search value they can press the Search button and the results will be returned via a data view on the dashboard. If the book is in the system, they can request to borrow the book and a notification will be sent to the owner of the book. If the book is in the system, but is currently on loan by another member, the book will be visible in the results, however, the option to borrow the book will be removed.
