Screenshot of example Research tables on OPAC
Our library has research tables and lets patrons (mainly master students
working on their thesis) keep items for a longer period on these tables. In
order for both library staff and patrons to be able to quickly track down
items, we are using the Course reserves module to set a certain research table
as temporary location for a certain item.
Because tables are not courses, we use a custom patch to have the research
tables appear as a separate module on the OPAC.
We use the authorized value category DEPARTMENT to distinguish courses from
tables. The tables have a separate value "Research tables".
Because some of the columns used for the course reserves are not relevant for
the tables, we also change the display of these on the OPAC.
The following columns are renamed:
“Course #” => “Table #”
“Instructors” => “Researcher”
“Notes” => “Topic”
And these columns are hidden: “Dept.”, “Section”, “Term”.
Notes:
1) Because of possible privacy issues, we are no longer displaying the name of
the researcher, so this column might also be hidden.
2) The topic is optional. Some like to see what others are doing research on.
It also helps to know where to look for a book on a certain topic if it is not
on the shelf, because keeping the 'table reserves' up to date is a bit of a
challenge sometimes, depending on the cooperation of the patron.
Ideally this should be a separate module on both the Staff client and the OPAC.
It might be called 'Table reserves' if 'Research tables' is too specific.
