Setting demand levels

For all physical items on your list you are required to set a demand level by using the radio buttons next to each item. These demand levels will determine the location of the item and the length of time it can be borrowed. Possible demand levels are:

H = High use	Required readings placed into Reserve Collection for 2-hour loan
M = Medium use	Recommended readings placed on 3-day loan in the Main Collection
L = Low use	Additional readings that will remain in the Main Collection with normal loan period

If you try to save an exit a list without setting all demand levels, you will be alerted by the display of a highlighted message box

Alerting the Library about physical reserve requirements

Whenever a new physical item is added or the demand level of an existing one modified, the check box next to Advise the Library to prepare my list for the coming teaching period becomes automatically ticked:

When you have set a demand level for each item, click the Save all and exit button to save your selections. An email will then be sent automatically to your Subject Library advising them of the items to be placed in Reserve and any other list updates.
