Managing your Library Reserves

Adding tags

Labeled items convey essential details about materials to both students and the library.

These labels, visible to students, indicate the duration of physical item loans. The tags include options such as 2 hours, 3 hours, 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, and 3 weeks. They serve as a communication tool, informing students and library staff about the desired loan periods specified by faculty. Additionally, if there are items not currently available in the library’s catalog that you wish to suggest for purchase, you can use the Purchase Request tag.

Steps:

  1. Click on an item in your list.
