Checking a copy's status from WebCollection Plus for Union

patrons can find out if a copy is available. Open the Member Information page by

clicking Edit Members. On the Member Information page, enter each member's

complete URL in their WebCollection URL text box. This places an Availability

button next to that member's copies on the Copy Information page. When

clicked, it displays the copy's Call Number, Status, Sub Location, and Description

(if available). Make sure to enter the full URL, including http://".

Note: 

 Your member catalogs can be running any version of WebCollection Plus.

Enter the complete URL of the

member's WebCollection Plus.

Enabling Patron Empowerment

You can allow your patrons to log in to WebCollection Plus. You can choose to

allow them to view and print a list of their checkouts, fines, and holds, or to place

actual holds and reserves, or do both.
There are no options on the Setup Information pages for Patron Empowerment.

To enable Patron Empowerment in WebCollection Plus, you must select it on the

System Setup | Setup | Patron Maintenance | Patron Defaults tab. In the Allow

Patrons to Log in list, choose OPAC & WebCollection Plus, or WebCollection Plus

Only. Make sure to choose the password field and the feature(s) allowed, and to

distribute the passwords to your patrons.
Once you enable this feature in System Setup, WebCollection Plus automatically

adds the My Info and Log Out buttons to its toolbar, and a Place Hold/Reserve

button to the Title Information page.
