How to Access and Use the Circulation Control Card

Modified on Mon, Mar 23 at 3:04 PM

Summary

Many of the Circulation Desk functions have a corresponding code that can be scanned from the Control Card. A wizard on the Circulation Home Page enables the user to open and print out one or more copies of the Control Card, which can be placed next to check in and checkout machines. Staff will then scan the relevant function to access the applicable screen, for example, Checkouts or Returns, and scan Patrons’ items. 


To Access the Control Card 


  1. 1. Navigate to Circulation > Home and locate the Print Circulation Control Card link in the Wizard panel.
