Placing Reservations

Use the following procedures to place a reservation on all materials (except tradebooks) from Central Media Services:

1. Access the CMS online catalog from any school computer. (NOTE: The online catalog cannot be accessed from home.)
2. Search the catalog by author, title, subject or keyword. This will bring up a results list.
3. Click on any title of interest. This will give you the full bibliographic description of the item as well as an indication of the number of copies available.
4. Scroll to the bottom of the record to place a reservation. The link is at the right hand bottom of the bibliographic record.
5. Log in using your patron number and password. (See your media specialist if you have forgotten your patron number or password.)
6. Set the reservation date for at least one day prior to the time that you will need the material. Reservatlons are checked every morning at Central Media. Materials are then placed in the pony for delivery to schools the following day.
7. When ordering multiple copies of the same title, you must reserve each barcode individually. Alternately, you can always call Central Media (410-996-5433) to set the reservation.
8. There are 3 ways to reserve multiple copies of a tradebook:
   • Call Central Media (410-996-5433) and leave the request orally.
   • E-mail the request to Mrs. Cheryl Norris cnorris@ccps.org.
   • Obtain a tradebook reservation form from your media specialist, complete and return it to Central Media through the pony.
