If you would like to reserve a catalogued item but do not know the item barcode, you may start with a catalogue search.

2) Click the title to display the record summary. In the Copy Summary, select Copy Details in Actions column.

3) The Copy Details will appear in a new row. In the barcode column, click the book now link.

4) A screen showing the title and barcodes of available copies will appear.

5) Enter the user’s barcode in the Reserve to patron barcode box. The user’s existing reservations, if any, will appear at the bottom of the screen.
