A normal checkout session would proceed as follows:

1. Staff member opens the Check Out screen (Circulation > Check Out).
2. Patron presents his/her library card (see: Library Card Required for Circulation); staff member scans card, determines if patron is in good standing (i.e., not blocked, barred, inactive, owing too many fines, etc.)
3. Staff member scans barcodes of items presented for checkout.
4. Staff member clicks the “Done” button to prompt printing of checkout receipt.
5. Staff member should verbally inform patron of due dates. (It is good practice to also inform patron of due dates on any items already checked out on the account and to inform the patron of any fines owed.)
