Assigning an Owner to a Reserve Item

If you want to, you can assign an owner to a reserve item. (An owner is any individual or institution that owns an item.) You can choose an owner from the list of instructors, or you can create a new owner.

Assigning an owner to a reserve item may be helpful if the owner of an item is different than the instructor who wants to reserve the item. It may also be helpful if you have a generic instructor, such as “English Department”, and the item belongs to an individual faculty member (for example, “Dr. Peer”).

In addition to the withdrawal instructions, an owner can indicate to reserve staff members what to do with an item after withdrawing it. (For example, the withdrawal instructions may be “Return Item to Owner” or “Inform owner item is no longer on reserve.”)
