  • Click on “close” then close the window

  • Open the “Barcodes” file and remove extra space at the end (be sure the cursor is at the end of the last barcode)

  • Save the file as text to:

C:\Users\your last name\WRLC\WRLC COMMON - Documents\1_Storage Refiles\Alma\Books\Row x & x

File name is the date that list was created

Ex. notepad_7_12_16

  • Delete the “Barcodes” file  *THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!

3. Uploading reshelved items

Use the SCF Processing website to upload reshelved books.  If you needed to leave your desk briefly, it will be a good idea to refresh the page when you comes back before starting work to ensure everything is ready to proceed.

When items have been uploaded it means:

  • The message, "SCF Hold Shelf" in Internal Note 3 has been cleared 
  • The Item is in temporary location has been switched to "No"
  • The temporary library of "WRLC - Shared Collections Facility" has been removed
  • The temporary location of "SCF Hold Shelf" has been removed

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

Do Step 2 to perform upload of the reshelved items.  Click on "Bulk".

All done!

ISSUES:

1) Incorrect item barcode scanned.  For example, Catholic books have both old and current barcodes:

OLD (barcode is shortened): 3053001646981

CURRENT: 30530003349875

If the old barcode was scanned and uploaded, this message will appear:

Two choices to fix this:

  • Click on "Clear".  You will need to go back to the item to get the correct item barcode then fix the Notepad file and redo the steps.

OR

  • Click on Proceed so the remaining items could be updated.  You will need to go back to the item to scan the correct item barcode after scanning the tray location then create a new Notepad file.  Redo the steps.

2) Item placed in the wrong tray or wrong tray location was scanned:

31194010728958 was placed in R21M19S30T08 when it should have been placed in R22M18S09T12.

Steps to fix this:

3) Item is checked out:
