TLC’s Academic Reserves functionality for Library•Solution is a powerful tool for college and university libraries. Staff members at academic libraries use the LS2 Staff module to add, edit, and remove titles set aside for a particular course or set of courses, and students use the library’s LS2 PAC catalog to find and check out their designated course-related titles.
Academic Reserves includes more than a dozen user-selected criteria – Instructor, Course, Department, etc. – making your reserves filterable and discoverable. Items can be reserved for multiple courses, sections, and professors, and have multiple release dates. In-depth statistics allow libraries to gather extensive data on reserve titles. When the reserve period expires, items can be easily removed.
Whether you have a few course reserves or thousands, TLC’s Academic Reserves makes assigning, tracking, and un-assigning items simpler than ever. The feature is available at no extra charge to Library•Solution users who utilize LS2 Staff and LS2 PAC.
