About Withdrawing Items from Reserve

After an item is on reserve for a certain period of time that you determine, you can withdraw the item from reserve. When you withdraw a library item from reserve you can return the item to the owning location—either your library’s main stacks or another collection. If you are withdrawing a non-library-owned item, you can return it to the instructor or owner. If a reserve item is checked out when you need to withdraw it from reserve, you can flag the item for withdrawal. When the item is checked in, Horizon prompts reserve staff members to withdraw the item.

When you withdraw an item from your reserve, you should inactivate the reserve Title record; otherwise, users will still be able to search for the title. You can also set up withdrawal instructions that prompt staff members to do something specific with that item (for example, return the item to the instructor).

When you withdraw an item from reserve, you can choose to archive the reserve Title and Item records for items that you will likely place on reserve again. (For example, an instructor may place a text book on reserve every other semester.) Archiving reserve records lets you place an item on reserve at a future time without having to create new Instructor, Course, and Title records.

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.)
