Academic Reserves > Add/Remove Individual Reserve Wizard

Add/Remove Individual Reserve Wizard

The individual instructor/course reserve record provides information about the instructor who requested the material for reserve, as well as the course for which the reserve material is needed. The Add/Remove Individual Reserve wizard is used to create an additional individual instructor/course reserve record for an existing reserve control record or to remove an individual instructor/course reserve record without removing the entire existing reserve record. Using the item ID or call number of the existing reserve control record, SirsiDynix Symphony links the new individual instructor/course reserve record with the existing reserve control record, or removes the selected individual instructor/course reserve record from the existing reserve control record.
