  • Log Out. Allows the Librarian to log out.
  • Switch Site. This option is only available for libraries that are a part of a Centralized Catalog. It opens the Select A Site window, which allows an operator to select which site(s) they would like to log into; however, the choices offered depend on the sites that the operator has permission to access (review the Site Access window for more information). Therefore, an operator may have access to multiple sites, but not all the sites defined in the Sites Management window. The default selection in the window is always the last site that operator logged into.
