4.1. Item Attributes for Circulators

Last Updated 07/28/2026

On This Page

Circulators may edit Item Attributes for locally owned copies. Items may be edited from the Holdings Editor, which can be accessed from the Item Table in the Bibliographic Record, or from the Actions Menu in the Item Status screen.

Only certified Item Catalogers and Bib Catalogers can add or delete items, but Circulators have permissions to edit Item Attributes such as the Barcode, Call Number, Shelving Location, or Item Status of items, and may do so as determined by their local library system. 

There are several ways to access the Holdings Editor - the interface to edit all holdings data - including via the Bibliographic Record or the Actions menu on the Item Status screen.

The bibliographic record detail page displays library holdings, including the call number, shelving location, and item barcode. Within the Item Table tab in the staff client, the list of holdings displays two links, view and edit, underneath the item barcode(s).

Clicking on the view link opens the Item Status screen for that specific item.

Clicking on the edit link opens the Holdings Editor screen for that specific item.

Item Status Screen

If circulators wish to make changes to multiple items at once, they can do so from the Item Status screen. Select all the items to be edited and select an option from the Edit section of the Actions menu.

• Clicking on Call Numbers will open the Holdings Editor.
• Clicking on Items will open the Item Attributes editor.
• Clicking on Call Numbers and Items will open the Holdings Editor (duplicate of the Call Number).
• Clicking on Manage Item Alerts will open a pop-up where you can add Item Alert or edit/delete existing alerts.
