Overview: This program
allows you to enter either a Patron or and Item code or barcode, and
view all Reservation entires that are attached to that code. The
Reservations details contain links that allow you to view or change the
main Catalogue or Patron record. Three type of Reservation status
exist. They are; Reservations awaiting colletion, Reservations sitting
in a Queue, both Booked and Normal types, and Interlibrary Loan type
Reservations.
Patron code or Barcode: Enter either the
Patron code or scan in the Patron barcode. After entry, press the
<TAB> key. This forces the system to lookup the entry. Otherwise,
you can also click on the Search
button. The screen will refresh, and the Reservation details for that
patron will display. The Patron address details will be visible when
the mouse pointer hovers over the envelope icon.
Find Patron: Clicking the Find Patron link will pop-up another window where a user is able to enter the full or part surname for the patron they wish to find (eg. can type Smith or Smi). Based on the text entered, a list of results that begin with the entered text eg. smi may begin with Smids and end with Smithson, whereas Smith may begin with Smith and end with Smithson. Once the desired patron has been found, click on the name and hit the Select button.
Find Item: Uses the OPAC search facility, click find item and an All
Fields Search box will appear for the user to enter text. Once the
required item has been found, click Select to register the Accession Number on the previous screen.
Otherwise, enter the Barcode of the Item. The screen will refresh
showing all Reservation details for the Catalogue entry. Note that the
details show the actual copy number as a suffix to the Accession
number.
