How Records Are Updated in Course Reserves

The Reserves: Store course reserve history in item and bibliographic records circulation option determines whether the system adds RESERVE NOTE fields to an item record—or, if the Attach Bibliographic Records to Course Reserves feature is enabled, to each item attached to the bibliographic record—when the record is added to or removed from active reserve.

In the Course Reserves function, the system makes certain changes to bibliographic and item records when you add the records to active reserve. A record is added to active reserve when you set its reserve status to "Active," either when adding the record to a course reserve list or changing its status.

The system makes a different set of changes when you remove a record from active reserve. You can remove a record from active reserve by removing it from a course or by changing its status to "Inactive."

Record Is Added to Active Reserve

When you add a record to active reserve, the system updates the record as follows:

OITYPE=2, OLOCAT=jamat, OCHKOUT=5

The system then sets the TOT CHKOUT field to '0' and the I TYPE and LOCATION field to the values you specified in the record's settings. (Note that the system does not update the TOT RENEW field, so the TOT RENEW value might be higher than the TOT CHKOUT value while an item is on active reserve.)
