[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Books on Reserve in Evergreen
Can anyone point me in the right direction to figure out how Evergreen handles books on Reserve? Meaning books placed on a reserve shelf for a professor, for a particular class, for that term to circulate for up to two hours at a time. Thank you, Janice Huber Information Commons Manager 204 N Lexington Ave Wilmore, KY 40390 859.858.2230

Hi Janice: You might want to start with https://coffeecode.net/archives/250-Current-state-of-academic-reserves-support-for-Evergreen.html - although it's a post from 2011, it's still reasonably accurate I think.

All – The other alternative is to do what we have done. Just change the item / copy record to have a circulation modifier for 1 hour, 2 hour etc and make the coordinating changes in your circulation policies table. We also changed each item to reside in a new location / collection called Reserves. I have not been able to find a way to “associate” the items with a course or a professor, but you can certainly make notes on the item to that effect if you want. We have never needed all that anyway. We just want to be sure that the items circulate with the correct time frames. So far we have it working to our satisfaction. One problem we have encountered is the due time will often run past our closing time. Does the system not automatically shorten the due time when it conflicts with the open hours of the OU?? I’d like to know how to make that work. And maybe flip the due date / time to the next day? Anyone have any other ideas / suggestions?? I’d be interested to know if there are other institutions actually having a reserve collection that are using Evergreen. Thanks!

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Books on Reserve in Evergreen
We are doing what Jennifer describes. We have a circulation modifier of hourly reserves and daily reserves with circulation policies that correspond. We also created indexes for professor and course which pull from marc tags that are added to the bibliographic record. This allows us to have a search widget for reserves that we can feature on the web site.
