Reactivating an Expired Reserve

  2. Click the Reserves tab to view the Reserves page of the Patron Status, Checkout & Reserves screen. The Reserves page shows the items currently placed on “soft” reserve for the associated patron. Each line in the listing provides the following information:
    • Title - The title of the item for which the reserve was placed.
    • Author - The author of the title for which the reserve was placed.
    • Volume – the volume of the associated title (where applicable)
    • Pickup location – the location from which the reserved item, when available for checkout, may be picked up

    • Reserve Order - When more than one reserve has been placed for a title, shows the current patron’s “place in line.”
    • Hold Date – the date on which the “soft” reserve was placed
      • If the reserve has expired, the Hold Date field includes a link that shows the date and time at which the reserve expired. If desired, you can “reactivate” an expired reserve (see Reactivating an Expired Reserve for details).
    • Expiry Date – the date on which the “soft” reserve will expire
    • Patron Note – any patron note included with a reserve request
    • Item Barcode - the item barcode for the associated item (for item level reserves only)
