What can a patron do when requesting within Minerva?
A patron in good standing, whose patron type has not been blocked by loan rule logic within Minerva, can do the following: • Search Minerva and place a request for the next available copy of the title shown in the Web OPAC. (Exception: if there are multiple volumes, the user will be able to select a specific copy.) • (Note that libraries new to Minerva may not yet have been trained for online requesting or lending, or a given item may fall into one of the handful of temporary availability exceptions cited in policy.) • Place a hold on any item that is currently in circulation. • View transaction status and cancel the request from the View Patron Information area of Minerva.
