Checking in Materials & Cart Etiquette
To check in materials, select “Fulfillment” from the black menu bar and then “return items.”
- Be sure your cursor is placed in the “scan item barcode” box and then scan the barcode of the material.
- While returning materials be sure to go slowly and take your time! Look up at the screen each time. Notes will often pop up for materials. If you continue to scan, these important messages can disappear without notice.
- Summit materials will have barcodes in various places. Sometimes even under the white paper band so you may not spot it right away. Just keep looking and you will find it eventually!
- If a barcode does not scan, you will need to manually type in the barcode number and hit “enter.”
Note: ILL returns (materials with a colored paper band) are not returned/checked out via ALMA. They are placed in the Summit/ILL basket.
Cart Etiquette
- “Regular” books should be placed on the return cart in LC order on the top shelf.
- All other materials: DVDs, CDs, Periodicals, New Books, Browsing, Graphic Novels, Oversize. Genre/Display and games should be placed orderly on the 2nd shelf.
- Take care that only books belonging to our Library are being placed on the cart. Law, Curriculum Center, Summit, and ILL books must be placed in their appropriate baskets.
- Once the top shelf is full, all items on the cart should be given an additional scan and then re-sensitized with the wand. The cart can then be placed in line to be re-shelved and an empty cart can be put in its place.
