Full Record Display

Each Full Record Display includes a book jacket illustration and complete bibliographic information for the associated title.

The Full Record Display is configured as a “two-pane” display.

The left pane shows the author, title, format and location for the title; a "Media Type" icon (see Media Type Icons for details) that indicates the media in which the title is available, a book jacket illustration, the Availability of the title (the number of copies currently available and the total number of copies owned by the library), and the (#) Holds in Queue (the number of reserves currently placed against the title).

NOTE: For library staff ONLY: The (#) Hold(s) in Queue indication serves as a link to the View Reserves screen for the title, allowing staff to place multiple reserves against the title (see the Circulation User Guide for more information).

A Place Hold button and Full Record functions menu are also shown at the bottom of the pane.
In cases where online content is available for the associated title, an Online Content field containing links to the associated content displays below the Place Hold button. Links are provided when:
- the title is available in an electronic format such as an eBook or eSerial.
- the bibliographic record for the title includes an “Electronic Location and Access” link or a link to an electronic version of the item available online, such as at Project Gutenberg or the Internet Archive.
- supplemental data such as an author biography, table of contents, or an excerpt is available online for a title in a non-electronic format.

The right pane includes complete bibliographic information for the title, Location information (a list of libraries that have a copy of the title) and may include book reviews and other enhanced content for the title. You can perform additional searches by selecting links in the bibliographic data.

NOTE: The primary tab (the first section shown on the Full Record Display) is determined by your library. Depending on the configuration of the Full Record Display for your library, some tabs may not be available.
