1. Open the Checkin Items page (Circulation > Check In).
2. Scan each item's barcode.

Staff may change the date for the check-in by altering the Effective Date field for purposes of checking in items from the bookdrop first thing in the morning using a previous day's date, or in other circumstances in which the check-in date needs to be changed. Set the desired check-in date, and check in items normally. Reset the effective date to the current day once back-dated checkins are complete.

If the item that is checked in needs to go to be routed to another library (either to fulfill a hold request at another library or to return to its owning library), check it in as normal. The system will automatically change its status to “In Transit” and a pop-up message will appear that will allow you to print a Transit Slip that should be included with the item when sent to its destination.

If the item being checked in is needed to fill a hold request at your library, check it in as normal. A pop-up will appear that will prompt you to print a hold slip that should be attached to the item.

The item's status is automatically changed to “On holds shelf” and automated notices to the patron are triggered (see: Automated Notifications). If the patron has opted to be notified by telephone, the telephone number will appear on the hold slip so that staff may call.

When pre-cataloged items (see: Pre-Cats) are checked in, the item status is automatically changed to Cataloging and an alert message appears. Route the item to the cataloging department for full entry into the database.
