Reserve Control Records

Before placing materials on reserve, the call number record of the item to be reserved must be linked with a Reserve Desk. Each reserve collection at a library must have a Reserve Desk policy entry. The reserve control record points to this Reserve Desk policy information, as well as Circulation Rule policy information. Either a reserve control record must be created, or this copy must be linked to an existing reserve control record.

The reserve control record is then able to represent and track linked individual instructor/course reserve records. The reserve control record can represent none, one, or several individual instructor/course reserve records.
