ILL In-House
When a patron checks out an ILL that is labeled as “In Library Use,” advise the patron not to leave the library with it and to return it to the desk when done. When they return it, ask if they are fully done with it and if we can return it to the home library. If they say YES, scan it in as normal and place it on the ILL return shelf. If NO, do not scan it in. Place it on the bottom shelf of the holds/ILL area in the spot labeled “IN LIBRARY USE ONLY”
LoT checkout accuracy
When checking out items from Library of Things, it’s important to checkout the right items. If the patron brings up the sheet for Noise Cancelling Headphones 5, process the checkout and give them the case for Noise Cancelling Headphones 5, not 2, 7, or any other numbers. This ensures that when the item is returned, we can check in the correct headphones and avoid having the wrong person get charged for not returning their items. Only one item per sheet; one stress ball sheet doesn’t allow them to take 2 stress balls. Stress ball sheets have a tag at the top so they match the color of ball. If cookie cutters are checked out, make sure the right ones go out; compare the picture on the sheet or online if needed.
