Checking In Return Books Part 2

Courier will drop off return materials at the end of the day.  Those books and boxes should have the green "WRLC" slips inside the books or on the boxes/packages.  If you see the slip with a different library abbreviation on it, put the item on the outgoing table for the courier to pick up.

Use the SCF Processing website to check in books. 

When an item has been checked in, it means:

• Temporary location is updated to SCF Hold Shelf
• "SCF Hold Shelf" message gets added to Internal Note 3

Important note: Do NOT check in an item twice!  This will create a transit status for it.

On the main menu, go to "Refile Processing" then click on "Home".

Do Step 1 to check in books.  Click on "Check-In".

RESULT:

ALWAYS LOOK AT THE PATRON INFORMATION!

If you do see a library (Ex. Patron: Deliver to GW) then that means the item has been checked in without any issue.

Write down the RMST data on a slip.

Items checked out to GW, CU and AU ILL will show digits like this:

• 5397151070004617, GELMAN ILL STAFF, OK
• 3250417390004617, General, Libraries, OK
• 3253554340004617, CUA ILL, OK
• 4648321900004617, AU LENDING, OK

There will be various issues with checking in books (screenshots listed below):

• New book
• No patron data
• Item not found
• Item never checked out to a patron
• A note in Internal Note 3
• Item already checked in

NEW BOOK

 

If it is a new AU book, proceed with adding “At WRLC waiting to be processed” to Internal Note 1.

ITEM NOT FOUND

A NOTE IN INTERNAL NOTE 3

ITEM ALREADY CHECKED IN

The supervisor will have to go to the owning IZ to clear transit status.

 

Oxford University Press (OUP) books

Even though OUP books do not have a X at the end of item barcode, the check in job will "add" a X but it will not change in Alma.  There is no need to give OUP books to the supervisor.
