Search / Holds Mode
In Circulation Desk mode, you may be authorized to search by Bibliographic and Item record indexes,



but the purpose of searching here is to check out items, rather than to retrieve the records for other purposes.



In fact, if you retrieve a bibliographic record with only one attached item record, or if you select an item record from a summary screen, the item is immediately checked out to the current patron, without allowing you to view the record.



Millennium Circulation has another mode, called Search/Holds mode,



that allows you to retrieve bibliographic and item records for viewing, editing (if you are authorized), and performing hold functions.



NOTE: Many hold functions can be performed either from Circulation Desk Mode for single patron transactions or from Search/Holds mode for single or multiple patron transactions.
