Making a resource bookable in advance

Library staff (with correct permissions) can make resources bookable.

Using the Booking Module

1. Click on the Admin menu at the top right of the screen, select Server Administration, then Booking and finally Resources.

2. This will bring you to the Resources screen.

3. To create a new Resource, click on the New Resource button. A window will pop up. Select the Owning Library. There is not a drop-down to select the Resource Type, you must just know what the resources are in order to enter them in. In the box next to Resource Type, slowly type in the resource type - as you do, you will notice the name of the resource pop up below box, you can select that name. [Note: you learn how to create resource types in the local administration section of this documentation]

4. Enter in the barcode of the resource in the barcode box. Check the options Overbook, Is Deposit Required, Deposit Amount and User Fee if you want to enable those features.

5. Click on the Save button and the screen will refresh to show the item as a new bookable resource.
