Items Owned by Another Library (ILL's or InterLibrary Loans)
The third type of item we check in at the Circulation Desk are ILL items. These are very similar to EZBorrow items, they are just received through a different system. The main differences from checking in a Gumberg Library owned item are as follows:
- Instead of scanning the barcode attached to the actual item, we scan the barcode on the orange band wrapped around the cover of the book. An example is shown below:
- When scanning the barcode, type "'b" before the barcode. Sierra will not recognize the item if "b" is not typed before the barcode. An example of checking an ILL item into Sierra is shown below:
- Stamp the item "Returned," and place it on the "ILL Returns" shelf in the Circulation Office. An example of what a returned ILL item should look like before going on the "ILL Returns" shelf is shown below:
