Viewing Detailed Information about an Item

You can view detailed item information about each copy of a title in your library. If you have multiple copies of the same title, you can view information for each copy. (For example, you can see the item’s status, item type, location, order information, and the last person to borrow the item.)

If your library tracks in-house use of items, you can also view information about in-house use of an item. (For more information keeping track of in-house use, see “Checking In Items under Special Conditions” in the “Checkout and Checkin” chapter of the Circulation Guide.)

To view detailed information about an item

1 Access the Copies window of the title that you are searching for. (For instructions, see Doing a Basic Search.)

Horizon displays the Copies window:

2 Highlight the copy with the item information you want to see.
3 Click Detail Status.

Note: If the Detail Status button does not display on this window, your searching options are not set up to allow you to view item information. You must be set up as an expert user. (For more information, talk to your system administrator.)
