Search Stations

Chapter 33 Setting up your search stations

Use the information in this chapter to set up your OPACs. You can choose which

interfaceĊtext or visualĊto display to your patrons; whether they have access to

other applications; and what search and print options are available to them.
The setup is applied to the individual search station. This lets you define each

station with a unique set of options. If you wish to modify the default settings,

you must do so at each search station, or see page 429 for information on copying

setups from one search station to another.
To set up the Patron Empowerment feature, in which patrons can log on to view

their circulation information or place holds and reserves, go to System Setup |

Setup | Patron Maintenance | Patron Defaults. Instructions for the setup begin

on page 74. Instructions for using Patron Empowerment in OPAC begin on page

472, for WebCollection Plus, on page 445.
