Circulate Books

To check in a book means a student is returning the book to the library. To check out a book means they are taking it to read.

Checking in

1. Choose Check in under the search bar
2. Move the bar code underneath the scanner until it beeps
   • If there is a hold on the book, choose print slip and print to the receipt printer below the desk.
   • Place the slip inside the book and place the book on the back side of the shelf behind you
3. Place the book on the top shelf of the cart behind you if there is no hold

Checking out

1. Choose Check out under the search bar
2. Ask the student for their ID number
3. Enter it, then choose the correct name from the drop-down
4. Scan their books
5. Make sure you receive a confirmation message, especially when scanning multiple books
   • If there is an overdue message, let the student know and then choose OK to finish checking out
   • If there is a warning that too many are checked out, tell them they should return a few books but let them check out one more
