View Reserves

The View Reserves button displays on your PAC toolbar, as shown below, if your library is involved with an academic institution that places items on reserve for selected courses.  The View Reserves button provides access to the Departments, Courses, and Instructors associated with the items placed in a special collection.  Through the View Reserves display, you can see what courses are offered, what materials are required, the availability of the materials, and the instructor requesting the reserve.
