Renew Reserve Wizard

The Renew Reserve wizard is used to check out a reserve item after the initial check out, extending the loan period. Because the reserve item is currently checked out to the user requesting a renewal, the amount of time the item can be borrowed is simply extended.

To renew a reserve item

Click the Renew Reserve wizard.

If you want the renewal to be recorded as a “seen” renewal (item is physically present for the renewal), select the Mark Item as Seen check box, if it is not already selected.

In the Item ID box, scan the item’s barcode or click Get Reserve Information.

Review the displayed information in the Basic Information, Individual Reserve, Copies, and Extended Information tabs.

Change the Expires date or any other information and click Modify.

After renewing the date on the item, select one of the following options:

•

Another to renew another reserved item

•

Close to exit the wizard

Important Considerations When Using this Wizard

•

If a current record exists for the item, click the Current record button to access the last record displayed, modified, or added.

•

If a Reserve Desk has not yet been selected in your WorkFlows session, a message displays to select a Reserve Desk. Click OK to close the message, and then select Reserve Desk settings in the Session Settings wizard.

•

If a workstation has a receipt printer, you can use the Checkout or Renew Reserve wizards to print date and time due slips.

•

If you entered the item ID manually, you can click Get Reserve Information to display item information. If the item has any exceptions, a status alert may display.

•

You can sort listed individual reserves in ascending or descending order. To do this, click the column heading of the column you want to sort.

•

The new due date for each renewed item may vary depending on the loan period and circulation rule affecting the renewed item and whether or not the item is overdue.

•

Depending on the circulation rule affecting the item, WorkFlows may disallow unseen renewals for a particular item if the user attempts to renew it before a certain number of days before the item's due date. In this case, WorkFlows displays the date and time an unseen renewal of that item will be allowed.
