Reserving a Single Item

After you retrieve an item, you can place the item on reserve when you link the item’s title to a Course or Instructor record.

Before you begin, make sure there is an active Title record for the item you want to place on reserve. (For instructions on changing the status, see Editing Reserve Information for a Title.)
