Sierra How-To Guide: Checking Out EZBorrow Items

Checking Out EZBorrow Items

Items Owned by Another Library (EZBorrow)

When checking out an item that was loaned to our patron through EZBorrow, we use the check-out screen in Sierra. The main differences from checking out a Gumberg Library owned item are as follows:

  • Instead of scanning the barcode attached to the actual item, we scan the barcode on the blue 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 EZBorrow item into Sierra is shown below:

Once an item is checked out, it can be "desensitized" and given to the patron.
