Public resource lists—transfer ownership

Change to Library View > Choose Catalog > Resource Lists

You can reassign ownership to another user before you delete the patron record.

The Transfer Ownership option lets you make Lists available to more people. You can share Resource Lists with other schools in the district. If you view a List that is particularly useful, you can copy that List and make it one of your own. This is much easier than manually creating a copy. You are able to copy any List you can view. Sharing Lists lets teams of teachers or students collaborate on the creation of a Resource List and co-own it. This shared List can be private, public, local, or district-wide.

Library administrators can reassign the ownership of a public Resource List to another local user. In addition, you now have the option to publish Resource Lists across the district, share a Resource List by adding co-owners, copy your own Resource List to start another, and copy another user’s public Resource List and use it as your own.

example A teacher who has created a public List containing resources and reference material for his classes retires. The List is still valuable for students.
