| + | ===== Reserving Items ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{ :pergamonmystic:linkedhelp:mystichelp_circ_00002.jpg?200|}} When in **Item Reservation** mode, the **Functional Details** section of the Circulations dialog displays the two values that can be set for any reservation that is made: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Expiry Date** - this is the date when the reservation request will expire and be automatically removed from the system. Unless a specific earlier date is entered, the date defaults to the date at which the currently selected reader is recorded as leaving the library. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Item Match** - the item match is an exclusive radio button which can be set to **Exact Match**, **By Title** or **By Serial Number** (e.g. ISBN). | ||
| + | |||
| + | When the reservation is placed using the **[Reserve]** command button, the reservation will cause the circulation system to monitor returning items for the following possible matches: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Exact** - This very same item (by Accession Number) is being requested. Once returned, the item can not be circulated again except to the reader who placed the reservation (unless overridden by a suitably authorised staff user). | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **By Title** - If an item being returned matches exactly by title (i.e. any copy of the same item in the library), the reservation is switched to an **Exact** match for that //returning// item now that it is available to fulfil the reservation. As before, once returned this returned item can not be circulated again except to the reader who placed the reservation (unless overridden by a suitably authorised staff user). | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **By Serial Number** - If an item being returned matches exactly by Serial Number, ISBN or other unique number used in its place (i.e. any copy of the same item in the library, exactly recognised by serial number), the reservation is switched to an **Exact** match for that //returning// item now that it is available to fulfil the reservation. As before, once returned this returned item can not be circulated again except to the reader who placed the reservation (unless overridden by a suitably authorised staff user). | ||
| + | |||
| + | In many ways, placing the reservation by **Serial Number** is a more exact version of ensuring that the first copy of that item is reserved for collection by the reserving reader. It is always possible that other items are in the library with the same **Title** but which are actually different items and the title is purely coincidental. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Removing a Reservation === | ||
| + | |||
| + | In order to remove the reservation, enter either a **Reader** or **Item** into the system to display their details. Click the **[▶]** button next to the **Reservations** row in their details, and select the reservation that you wish to remove. | ||
| + | |||
| + | With the **Functional Details** section in **Reservations** mode, click the **[Remove]** button to remove the reservation request. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | **Note:** Circulating the item to the correct reader in the reservation automatically disables the reservation. from the system. | ||
| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | ===== Booking Items ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{ :pergamonmystic:linkedhelp:mystichelp_circ_00003.jpg?200|}} The **[Booking]** mode of the **Functional Details** section of the Circulations Dialog, is a special kind of reservation which reserves the use of an item between two dates and times at a particular location. It is not a reservation which is normally used to lock an item for long periods of times, and is mainly used for resources that will spend a short period of time outside the library environment. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The **Booking** system is ideal for managing the use of resources such as projectors, or items which will be used for short periods of time such as educational teaching materials. | ||
| + | |||
| + | When placed into **Booking** mode, the **Functional Details** section displays three values required for placing the booking, and a list of bookings that have already been made: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Start Date** and optional **Time** - the date and time when the booking is required for. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **End Date** and optional **Time** - the date and time when the item is meant to be returned to the library. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Delivery Method** - where the item is intended to be delivered to if the library utilises a delivery system, or the default //For Pickup// if the reader in question will be collecting the item from the library. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | === Removing a Booking === | ||
| + | |||
| + | In order to remove the booking, enter either a **Reader** or **Item** into the system to display their details. Click the **[▶]** button next to the **Bookings** row in their details, and select the booking that you wish to remove. | ||
| + | |||
| + | With the **Functional Details** section in **Bookings** mode, click the **[Remove]** button to remove the booking request. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | **Note:** Circulating the item to the correct reader in the booking automatically disables the booking request. from the system. | ||
