E-Source Reports

The E-Source report lists the subscription databases you have set up for searching from the PAC e-sources page, organized by branch. Information about each e-source includes the name, description, connection URL, message, categories/subcategories, restriction data, and connection data. You can filter the report by organization. To access this report, select Utilities, Reports and Notices from the Polaris Shortcut bar, and select PAC in the Polaris Reports dialog box. For information on generating reports, see Using Polaris Standard Reports.

• Transaction - E-Source Access

• Transaction code - 2201

  • 239 - Remote User flag

  • 240 - Selected Language ID

  • 241 - Name of e-source selected to view
