Search for borrowing requests in Tipasa

You may search Active and Closed Requests by:

• Request ID
• Borrower symbol
• Lender symbol
• Author
• Title
• Article title (active requests only)
• Patron name

   Note:  Patron name searches must contain more than a two- or three-character word alone. For example, searching for Jo alone will not return results for a patron named John Smith.

• Patron user ID
• Patron department
• Reference ID (borrower active requests only)
• Local ID (borrower active requests only)
• Item barcode
• Staff notes
• Request Tags

 Note: Closed Requests are searchable by Patron name and Patron ID during the period specified to retain patron data.  When a closed request exceeds the patron data retention period, patron information is removed from the request.  Please see Patron Data Retention for more information.  

 Note: Results are limited to the 500 most recent requests.
