2. Four Kinds of Batches Item Status -- Temporary batch of items Copy Buckets -- Persistent batch of item records Record Buckets -- Persistent batch of bibliographic records Bookbags -- Persistent batch of bibliographic records created My Lists in staff or public catalog

3. Item Status Create a batch of items: Scan items Upload a file of barcodes Be sure Trim List is unchecked! Table Tips: Use the column picker to select and rearrange what columns appear on the screen. Sorting and selecting lets you work with different groups of records If you print or save CSV, you will get the same fields in the same order

5. Item Status Screen

6. Working with a Batch Select some or all records Edit, delete or perform other actions on items Print a list, save as CSV You can create and work with a batch of items in Item Status, but that batch only exists until you close the tab. If you want to be able to retain the batch, select all items and add them to a copy bucket.

13. Bucket Basics Buckets hold batches of items or records for as long as you need them You always see current item or record data in your bucket Buckets are associated with your login but can be shared by number (they are never really private)

14. Copy Buckets Go to Copy Buckets from the portal page, toolbar or menu to create, delete or select copy buckets Add selected items to new or existing copy bucket from the staff client Use Pending as a temporary holding place to split and merge buckets There are options to edit, etc., in record buckets but they work on ALL records, not selected records. The Show Status button opens records in Item Status for more options

Using Record Queries Click on the Record Query tab in the Record Buckets interface Input a simple query: author:steinbeck title:red pony su:iceland site:MELROSE You can add all or selected titles from search results to Pending, and from there, you can add all or selected titles to one or more buckets You can do multiple queries one at a time, and add all the records to one or more buckets

Go to the patron account options to set the list to Shared. (If you did this in the staff client, you'll need to go to the catalog in a browser and login as the staff user.)
