View a Patron’s Reading History

To view all the items in a patron’s reading history:

Note:
Patrons may view their own reading histories by accessing their patron accounts in the PAC.

1. Select Circulation, Patron Status to find and open the patron’s record. See Find patron services and related records. The Patron Status workform - General view appears.
2. Select View, Reader Services or click  to display the Reader Services view.

Tip:
If an item in the list is a serial, the serial designation (enumeration The designation reflecting the alphabetic or numeric scheme used by the publisher on an item or assigned when the holdings statement is created to identify the individual bibliographic or physical parts and to show the relationship of each unit to the unit as a whole. and chronology The date(s) used by the publisher on a serially-issued bibliographic unit to help identify or indicate when it was published. The chronology may reflect the dates of coverage, publication, or printing.) is added to the title. You may need to expand the title column to see the designation.

The items that the patron has checked out appear in the Reading History list, which can be quite long. The list is loaded in groups of 100 items as you scroll through it. To load the entire list at once, press CTRL+ALT+A.

Note:
Outreach services options are available on this workform view only if your library’s Polaris system specifically includes outreach services. SeeOutreach Services Processing.
