Multiple campus schools which wish to report on student/staff library activity, or create and manage reservations and loans between campuses can setup multiple campuses. 


For both single campus schools with multiple libraries and for multiple campus schools with multiple libraries that want to allow patrons (teachers or students) from one campus to reserve resources from another library or campus, additional configuration is required to manage your reservations.


Managing Reservations


Reservations can be managed:

  1. For a single library. Note: In single campus/library schools no campus configuration is required.
  2. Between multiple libraries within a single school campus, or 
  3. Between multiple libraries geographically dispersed across multiple campuses of the one school.


Configure Campuses


Note: Campuses are not necessary for single campus schools or single library schools as Infiniti treats 


Go to: Settings> Enrolment > Campus

  1. Define your first campus.
  2. Provide a meaningful Campus Name. Note: The campus name will be converted into an Import ID in lower case and displayed. You must align this lower case import ID with each patron to assign them to a campus when importing data from your student administration system.
  3. Provide a suitable Description.
  4. .
  5. Define additional campuses by repeating Steps 1 to 4.
  6. Nominateyour Default campus.
  7. Edityour default campus:
    1. Move Physical Sites from This Campus to Other Campuses as appropriate leaving only those sites that belong to the current campus listed in This Campus list. Note: Physical sites moved to other campuses must be assigned to their correct campus. Unassigned physical sites will attach to the default campus. 
    2. Move Academic Peers from Available to Selected as appropriate. Note: Academic Peers defines cross-campus reservation flexibility. In an open flexible reservation system each defined campus will be a peer of all other defined campuses, allowing cross-campus reservations for students. This means that this setting is only relevant for academic levels and therefore students. Staff gain site access via a library group so peering does not apply.
  8. Once defined, each campus will display a brief statistical breakdown:
    1. Sites - the number of sites that are associated with the campus.
    2. Users - the number of patrons associated with the campus.
    3. Reservations - the number of current reservations associated with the campus.


Import Patrons Into Campuses


You must assign each patron to a campus if you intend to allow cross-campus or cross-library reservations. Campuses must be configured (see Configure Campuses above) before patrons can be assigned to a campus. Campus information can be imported as part of a regular import or it can be imported separately.
