About Reserving Library-Owned Items

After you create Instructor and Course records, you can place items from your library catalog on reserve. You can reserve an item for an instructor or course after you retrieve the item from your main location. You may require an instructor to bring the item to the reserve location or you may have staff members that search for items that instructors want to place on reserve.

Once you place an item on reserve, you can circulate reserve items according to the circulation parameters you set up for your reserve location and the ITYPE of reserve items. (For more information, see Defining Reserve Circulation Privileges.)

If a library-owned item is currently checked out, but you need to place it on reserve, you can flag the item for reserve. When the item is checked in at the circulation desk, Horizon prompts staff members to place the item on reserve.

Remember that you must do all reserve tasks in the reserve location. (For instructions on switching to a reserve location, see Switching to a Reserve Location.)
