[Wactclc-alma] Instructor Course Reserves

[McGaughey, Colleen]

By In House Use Only, I just mean that we check out the item to a student who can only use the Course Reserve inside the library. As far as I know, we don't have a limit to how long they can use the material in house. We just want to make sure that the student returns it to the circ desk by the end of the day.

By location, do you mean creating a physical location for Course Reserves?

To back up a step or two, we have a number of Fulfillment Rules, Terms of Use etc. set up. I just don't know how they have been configured or whether or not they are configured/assigned appropriately. I have just been using what's already there.

Regards,
Colleen

By “in house use”, do you mean short term loans, like 2 hours, 4 hours, etc?



Typically, you’d have a fulfillment unit for short terms loans of that type. That fulfillment unit would include your course reserves locations. Best approach is to set up locations to differentiate materials by circulation period. So, you could have one location for 2 hour loans, one for 4 hour loans.etc.



Then, you’d have rules to assign an appropriate TOU to each combination of user group + location.

I just noticed that our Course Reserves are using a Default Loan Rule; a Default Terms of Use, and the item policy for book.



Our Course Reserves are in house use only. What I am wondering, is should the Course Reserves have a separate ToU for in house only use? I looked that the Fulfillment Unit Rules on the Course Reserves, and there is a 2 day loan that is disabled, and a non-circulating (community borrowers) that is enabled.



Do I need to add a rule or item policy to reflect in house only use? Should I create a new loan period? I used the Fulfillment Configuration Utility, and it does show that a Course Reserve item is due the same day it is checked out, which is what we want.



Thanks,
Colleen
