Changing Reserve Order

If you have more than one reserve placed on the same item, and you wish to change the order of them, click on the “Order” button on the right hand side of the screen. You can then choose to “Move Up” or “Move Down”, which will change the order of the reserves. You can also cancel a reserve by clicking on the “Cancel Reserve” button.

Booking

This feature is used to reserve an item for future use. For example, a teacher may want to reserve material that she will need a month later for a project. This can be done through the booking function. Booking does not allow an item to be checked out if its checkout/due date falls in the booking date range, nor does it permit an item be renewed if the new due date falls in that range.

To book items, follow these steps:

1. 
   Click on “Circulation” in the Navigator Toolbar
   
2. 
   Click on "Booking”
   
3. 
   Scan in patron card (or enter the first name or last name depending on the default criteria you have defined in Configuration >> Circulation)
   
4. 
   Click the “Find” button in the right column
   
5. 
   Find the item you want to book
   
6. 
   Highlight the copy of the item that the patron wants, then click the "Book" button located on the bottom right side of the window
   
7. 
   Specify the date range
   
8. 
   To recall an item that is checked out, click on the “Recall” button. If the user profile of the patron to whom the item is currently checked out contains an email address, the system will automatically send an email to the patron recalling the item, provided the “Email notification” box on the Recall screen is selected

   Click on "OK"
