patrons to select the collections to searchĊthe entire union catalog, one of the

member catalogs, or a predetermined group of catalogs. To group your member

catalogs in Union System Setup, see page 101.

Toolbar buttons for Patron Empowerment

If you enable Patron Empowerment on the System Setup | Setup | Patron

Maintenance | Patron Defaults tab, the My Info and the Logout buttons

automatically appear on the WebCollection Plus toolbar, and the Place

Hold/Reserve button appears on the Title Information page. For further

information, see the Patron Empowerment section on page 445.

Enabling the Bookbag

The Bookbag option lets patrons create a bibliography of the items that interest

them. If you want to let your patrons build bibliographies, select the Enable

Bookbag check box (under Tools and Services) on the Setup Information page; its

toolbar button is then selected automatically. If the check box is cleared, the

Bookbag is not accessible.
You can limit the size of a patron's Bookbag by entering the maximum number of

entries (up to 150) in the text box. The Bookbag does not empty automatically.

The patron must click the Remove All button in the Bookbag. A counter on most

pages displays the number of items in the Bookbag.
To print, save, or mail a Bookbag, the patron can open the printer friendly

version, and then use the browser's menu commands or toolbar buttons.
