Polaris Tip: How to check if an item is on order.
Open your find tool. Change your search database to Item Record. Change your qualifier to Circulation Status and then change the search term to on-order. This will give you a list of all items in PRL that are on order.
In your find tool, follow the above steps, but also add a filter of assigned branch for your library. This way you can view only the on-order items from your library.
Rather than searching for all on order items, you can do a specific search for an ISBN with a filter of assigned branch for your library. This will let you know if your library already has the item on order and help prevent unintentional duplicate purchasing.
Change your search database to Item Records, your qualifier to ISBN, add a filter of your assigned branch, and enter or scan an ISBN into the text bar.
