Mill Tip: Create a List of Items in Your Library

How do I pull out items that belong to all the locations in my library in one simple search?

Using Antioch as an example (modify for your own location codes), within Create Lists, enter the following search criteria:

  • Searching for item records
  • ITEM LOCATION between “an” and “anzzz”
  • Search

To arrange your list of items in the order they appear on the shelves, simply sort it by location first, and then by call number.

Mill Tip: Printing from Millennium Manual

Have you ever tried printing one page from the manual? You locate your information, select “Print”, walk over to the printer, only to find a small forest of trees in the print tray? You’ve gone and printed the entire chapter!

To avoid this situation, please take the following steps:

  • Using Firefox: locate the page, right click within the frame on the right-hand side, and choose This Frame > Print Frame.
  • Using IE: Locate your page and click on “Display” in the upper-right. Then from the IE toolbar, choose File > Print.
