Curriculum Collection Class Cart
1. CCM does not normally have any Reserve materials. Instead, a short term, temporary reserve is crated by placing items on "Class Cart" status. This is mostly used for the Curriculum & Instruction classes (651), but occasionally it is needed for other classes as well. Any item on a Class Cart will show that temporary location when someone looks it up online.
2. Class Cart items are NOT available for regular circulation or for UB requests while on that status.
3. These items may be checked out, like music reserve items, for two hour, in-house use. They should not be desensitized as they should not be leaving the library. They are available for this use only when it does not conflict with the class they are reserved for, so no two hour loan is allowed during or directly before class times.
4. Users checking the book out for two hour loan are not required to be in the class -- we do not ask.
5. For those who are authorized to do so, there is information below on how to move items on and off from class cart status.
Putting Items on Class Cart Status
(Note: can only be done by authorized workers)
1. While logged into Alma, go to the Physical Items search. Preferred search is usually by barcode.
2. When the book entry is displayed, click on the "Edit Item" button on the right side of the screen.
3. When this displays the general information tab in the Physical Item Editor, scroll down to the bottom of the screen.
4. Click the "Yes" circle under Temporary Location Information, and choose UW Milwaukee-Curriculum Class Cart (usually the top item on the menu) as the temporary location.
5. Make sure to scroll to the top of the page and click "Save."
6. The page should return to the original record, now modified to show the new, temporary location.
Removing Items from Class Cart Status
(Note: can only be done by authorized workers)
1. Use the same steps as shown to the left to access the book's record.
2. On the Temporary Location line, click "No." The Class Cart menu line does not need to be changed.
3. Click "Save" to return to the record, which should now show only the original location.
