Use the Sierra / Holds function to search for items from all the Marmot members. Since this is a shared system, you will see all the items from all the other libraries on a shared bibliographic record. You can look up an item to find information about holds for your patrons. The Search / Holds function has searching indexes such as Barcode, Title, Author, Journal Title, Keyword, Series Title, Subject, Bib Util No, or ISN. You can conduct a search and limit your library’s location. In addition, you can use the Search / Holds function to see who has the item checked out. You can also see how many times your patron renewed items and how many notices they received.
