Welcome to Horizon Reserve Bookroom. Reserve Bookroom lets you reserve items for a specific instructor or the instructor’s students. These students can then use or check out the items for a limited amount of time during a school semester. This is helpful if an instructor needs to make a single item available to many students over the course of a school semester.
You can place both library-owned and non-library owned items on reserve. (For example, an instructor may want to make a personal copy of a play available to students.) You can place library-owned items on reserve by temporarily moving the item to the reserve location. You can place non-library owned items on reserve by creating a temporary Item record for use while you store the item in the reserve location.
