Sierra How-To Guide: Check Out

Checking Items Out

To check out materials, first look up the user information. Photo ID is required to check out materials. Look at the picture and verify it is the person standing in front of you!

Left tab display: After the user information displays, you will note that any issues with the users' account are indicated by red menu options on the left.

User blocks: If there are overdues or fines totaling more than $25.00, the patron's account will be blocked and it will require a supervisor's login to allow the checkout. Do NOT override the block unless you have a valid reason for doing so. If you are unsure, please ask a supervisor for assistance.

Checking items out: If the user has no fines or overdue items, simply make sure that the Check Out menu on the left is selected, then scan the barcodes of the items to be checked out. The titles and due dates will list in the Check Out field.

After all items are scanned, click the Close button under the function menu. This will prompt the receipt to print. Desensitize the items so they do not set off the alarm.

If someone has overdue materials or doesn't know what he has checked out, you may have to review Checked Out items. This can be done directly from the Check Out Function.

Multiple Pieces?

If the item has multiple discs or parts, you will get a pop-up stating the number of pieces.

Please check to ensure that all pieces are there and that there are no more barcodes that need to be scanned before clicking OK.
