Reserving a Project Box

Project boxes and items within them cannot be reserved from the homepage in the same way resources normally can, the hold must be created in the project box in management. 

 

Reserving a Box

First, log into the library system and load the Management page then find and load the project box record card. 

On the right-hand side, click 'Create Hold' and the the Quick Reserve window will open.

 

You can now either scan the barcode of the borrower, type it into the 'Barcode' box, or press 'Find...' and search for them manually. Once their information is populated in the 'Tutor Group' and 'Borrower' windows, press 'Reserve'.

 

On the next widow, select the date the resource is to be issued to this borrower, not the current date. If a teacher needs a book in two weeks time, you would enter a date two weeks in advance here. When the correct date is entered, press 'OK' to reserve the box. A window will now display to inform you of the reservation, press 'OK' to return to the project box. 

You will now see the 'On hold from' box has a date in it, this is the date you entered earlier, should you issue this project box to anyone at any point before the reservation date you have just entered, the box will be automatically set to be due back the day before. This will be shown in the 'Date due' box.  

 

Removing a Reservation

If the box is no longer needed or you reserved it for the wrong person, you can remove the hold.

Load the Management page and find and load the project box record card. On the right-hand side, select 'Remove Hold' to remove the reservation on the box. 

If a box is already on hold, it cannot be reserved by another borrower. The 'Create hold' button will be unavailable.
