Use this screen to turn on lending priorities and OPAC integration.
Lending Priorities
This setting turns on Lending Priorities. Lending Priorities is a separate category at the bottom of the left navigation in Resource Sharing for Groups dedicated to your priority borrowers (for example, a consortium your library is in). For every group you add as a lending priority, there will be separate lending queues dedicated to that group. You can have up to five groups defined as lending priorities.
To turn on Lending Priorities:
- Select the On check box.
- In the Display Name field, enter a display name for the group. The display name appears in the Resource Sharing for Groups interface, at the bottom of the left navigation.
- In the Filter by fields, from the first list, select Profiled Group or Custom Holdings Group, depending on the group you want to add.
- From the second list, select the group you want to add as a lending priority.
- To add additional groups to your lending priorities, click Add Row and repeat steps 2-4. For each row you add, a separate set of queues for that group will display in Resource Sharing for Groups. You can have up to five rows (five sets of lending priorities groups).
- To delete a row, click Delete Row.
- Click Save.
To turn off Lending Priorities:
- Click Delete Row for all rows you have configured. All rows must be cleared before you can disable Lending Priorities.
- Deselect the On check box.
- Click Save.
