Agency Table Overview

Info

You can contact the Marmot Help Desk for help if you cannot view this table.

The Agency Table contains a file that lets Marmot group library's locations and branches into agencies. The system uses agencies in the following ways:

  • As values in the AGENCY fixed-length field in item records.

  • As values in the PAT AGENCY fixed-length field in patron records.

  • The Hold Pickup Location table determines the order to fill holds.

  • Generate the Collection Development Report and Age of Collection Report in Web Management Reports.

You can also find this report from the Sierra Desktop Application (SDA)
