Reservations Manager
BiblioTECH's Reservation Manager empowers you to efficiently manage reservations for your library resources. This tutorial will guide you through the steps of accessing, searching, prioritising, deleting, and notifying patrons about reservations.
Accessing the Reservation Manager
- Begin by logging in to your BiblioTECH web app account.
- Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard.
- In the dashboard, click on the "Circulation" button to access the Circulation Manager.
- In Circulation Manager, select the "Rsv Mgr" tab. This will grant you access to the Reservation Manager area, where you can oversee all reservations in your system.
Navigating and Searching

- Within the Reservation Manager, locate the search box. Here, you can search for particular resources or patrons.
Managing Reservations
The Reservation Manager offers various options for managing reservations effectively:
- Actions Button: For each reservation in the list, there is an Actions button with two key options:
- Delete Reservation: Use this option to remove individual reservations.
- Email Notification: You can send email notifications regarding reservations using this option.
- Bulk Actions: To manage multiple reservations simultaneously, you can use the Bulk Actions button. This provides the same options as the Actions button: "Delete Reservation" and "Email Notification."
- Priority Assignment: Next to the Actions button, you will find a Priority drop-down. This feature is used to assign priority to reservations. By default, reservations are listed in the order of reservation date. However, you can adjust the priority here if necessary by selecting the order number on the required reservation.
Additional Functions
At the top of the reservations list, you have access to two important buttons:
- Clear: The Clear button allows you to delete all reservations in the system. Be cautious when using this option, as it will permanently remove all reservations.
- Download: The Download button enables you to download a list of all reservations. This feature is useful for creating reports or records of reservations for your library.
