Current Item
Circulation > Current Item pane
Many Alexandria functions and commands depend on the Current Patron or Current Item. For example, you must have a Current Patron to check out, hold, or reserve an item.
The Current Item pane consists of two areas: The white area contains the copy, barcode, policy, call number, status, picture, and a short summary of available title copies. The colored strip at the bottom of the pane is where the buttons for item Details, Copy Stats, Notes, and Lookup; the Actions menu located at the bottom-right contains identical (and some exclusive) selections.
- Details. Contains the status for all the copies of the associated title record; particulars include copies that are currently checked out, the patron(s) currently borrowing them, their due date(s), the bibliographic record, and any additional attachments.
- Notes. Available when the current copy has associated copy or alert notes. Notes are provided for copies in the Copies: Notes subtab of Items Management. When clicked, you are also able to add notes directly to the resulting Copy Notes dialog.
- Reserves. Provides you with a list of patrons with reserves on the current copy.
- Show Map. If the current copy's Call Number falls within the Call Number range of a corresponding map (created in Maps Management), selecting Show Map will display the the map, detailing where the copy is located in your library. These maps can be conveniently printed from your browser and handed to interested patrons. If the current copy lacks a Call Number (or there is no map with an associated call number range), the Show Map selection is disabled.
- Lookup. Opens an Item Lookup dialog, allowing you to search your catalog; performs the same function as using the “ST” command.
- Vendors. This selection opens a secondary menu containing a list of Alexandria third-party partners that, when selected, link to their respective websites. Individual vendors can be disabled from Extras Preferences.
