How to renew a single copy or stack of copies
If a patron, such as a teacher, brings a stack of items to the circulation desk and
wants to renew them, you can renew them quickly without retrieving the patron
information for each item. To do this, switch to the Renewals window and scan
the copy barcode:
Brief copy information appears in
the title information box.
Scan or type the copy barcode
here.
Check to see if a
special due date
is in effect before
renewing.
Brief patron information appears
in the patron information box.
If any block conditions apply to the patron who is trying to renew the item, a
block message appears. For more information about block conditions, see
Handling block conditions during a transaction" on page 127.
If the copy you're renewing requires special attention, a circulation note may
appear. Circulation notes are attached to the copy record in Cataloging. For more
information about circulation notes, see Chapter 24, Working with copies."
If the copy you are renewing is overdue, and if a fine is generated, a message
appears. You can record a fine payment by switching to the Fines window. For
information about recording fine payments, see Chapter 11, Dealing with fines
and lost copies."
