While course reserves are usually all shelved together, they often have a variety of checkout periods. In Alma, if all course reserve items have a location of course reserves and item policies are used to differentiate the various checkout times, this presents problems for both staff and patrons.
Issues with item policy method:
Staff: When looking at the reading list can’t tell without going in to the item what policy (checkout period) is being used. It its time consuming to click through the levels to find check out periods, as well as to double check work putting materials on course reserves.
Patrons: In primo, they can see the item is located in course reserves but not what the checkout period is.
Following are the steps needed to do this.
Set up TOU for each time period (institution level)
Set up Reserves fulfillment Unit (institution level)
Attach locations to the fulfillment unit
