Watch the screen carefully for popup notices!

     If the popup says "On hold for...", PRINT out the hold slip, place in the book so the name shows at the top, REMOVE the security card from the pocket, and only then PUT it on the Hold shelf in name alphabetical order.

     If another popup, READ carefully and ask for staff assistance if needed.

Regular Check In (checked out at Circulation Desk)

IF BOOKDROP ITEMS:

     Click the Backdate button (by the Check-In Date) and change to the last day the library was open before checking bookdrop items in.

IF THE PATRON wants a receipt for materials returned, they must tell you IN ADVANCE of check in.

3. CHECK for overdue fines and collect if possible from the patron.
    
4. IF a receipt is desired, check the Print receipt box is checked.  (Normally we don't print one but it is possible.)
1. When you close the record, the receipt should print.
2. If the patron didn't give advance notice, offer to show them their patron record, and tell them they can also check it online for any obligations.
    
5. REMOVE the security card from the pocket if there is one.
