This e-mail is for those who help students locate textbooks
for their classes and for those who put items on reserve/take them off reserve
1.
To locate textbooks on reserve:
a. You
can NO longer use
Course Reserves link in GIL-Find. It takes to GSU Atlanta Campus reserves
b. The
most efficient method to help students to check if their books are available on
reserve is to search by title (you can help students to use SIS or
bookstore interface if they don’t know the title and don’t have their
syllabus). It is critical for Clarkston campus to search by titles in GIL-Classic.
Clarkston is using special call numbers located in the free-text field of item
record. These call numbers are not displayed in GIL-Find.
c. Our course lists did not migrate to the new catalog, so there
is no longer a way to generate a list of all items on reserve for a specific
course. We are working on finding a solution and will keep you updated
2.
To put new items on reserve/ take old
items off reservea. Currently, there is NO easy way to add/remove items through the circ module. Hopefully, we can discuss our workflow with downtown campus and come up with the workable solution. In a meantime, I can use the cataloging module to add/remove items for you, so please call or e-mail me.
