Record in-house use of materials (F6)
From MCLS Wiki
Libraries often count useage of materials used by patrons inside the library but not checked out. This is a way to keep statistics of material usage to aid in ordering additional items as well as to weed the collection if items are not used.
There are a few ways to get to the in-house use screen. You can:
- Press the F6 key on the keyboard
- Click on the Circulation menu and select Record In-House Use
- Click on the Check Out button drop-down menu and select Record In-House Use
The Record In-House Use screen displays with the heading shaded in dark purple.
To record in-house use, scan in the barcode of the item in the green box and the statistic is recorded.
You can change the # of uses by entering in a different number in the corresponding box and then scanning in the item to record to the number of uses.
