Each result also contains a green Place Hold button that allows you to place a title or part level hold on the item, as well as an Add to Bucket dropdown.

Item Description

The item description, also called the physical summary, appears on the left side of each search result. It contains the following information:

  • Cover image (if supplied)
  • Title and author
  • Format with descriptive icon
  • Call number
  • Physical description
  • Edition
  • Publisher
  • ISBN

All information except for the cover image and call number is taken from the item’s MARC record.

Selecting an item’s title or cover image will take you to that item’s bibliographic record.

Selecting an item’s author will conduct a search for that author.

Holdings Information

Holdings information appears to the right of the item description. Each line contains information that is specific to the location listed after the @ symbol.

The first number on each line is the number of copies on a given record at the specified location that have the status "Available" or "Reshelving." The second number is the total number of copies owned by the specified location.

Tip

The consortium or highest-level location always appears on the first line. The library chosen in the Library Selector determines what will be displayed on the next line or lines. The workstation’s preferred library, if set, will appear last, if different from the preceding lines.
