Listing Records Whose Reserve Status Should Change
You can use the Records whose status should change option in Course Reserves to identify item and bibliographic records that are ready for a change in reserve status (that is, records whose active/inactive until date has passed). To list records whose status should change, perform the following steps:
- Choose Course Reserves from the Function list.
- Choose Options | Records whose status should change.
- Select parameters for the records you want to list:
- Choose Range of course record numbers to list records attached to a range of course records, or Boolean Review File to select a review file of course records
- Under the Current Item Status option, select Active to view records currently on active reserve or Inactive to view records currently on inactive reserve.
- Under the Records whose status should change option, use the After and Before boxes to specify the earliest and latest possible Active Until dates you want to change. To specify a single day, enter the same date in both boxes. (For information on entering dates, see Modifying Dates.)
- Choose Search to display the records that match the criteria you specified. The system displays the following information about each matching item and bibliographic record:
- Course
- The name of the course to which the record is assigned, from the COURSE variable-length field in the course record.
- Active Until or Inactive Until
- The record's Active Until or Inactive Until date.
- Call Number
- The record's call number, from the CALL # field in the item record, or for bibs on reserve, the CALL # field in the bibliographic record.
- Location
- The location to which the item belongs, from the LOCATION fixed-length field in the item record. For bibs on reserve, this column is blank.
- Recnum
- The bib or item's record number.
- Title
- The title of the record, from the TITLE variable-length field in the bibliographic record.
- You can perform the following tasks for the displayed records:
- View a selected record by choosing View | Item or View | Bibliographic, or choose the View icon.
- Print the table by choosing Print Table (Standard Printer) or choose the Print icon.
- Change the status of the selected records.
- When you are finished, choose File | Close or the Close icon to return to the previous screen.
