hold or on reserve.
How to check in a copy

If the copy's barcode is missing or damaged, try searching for the copy by
title. For information about the Find Title dialog, see page 125.
When you scan or type the copy barcode, it appears here.
If Circulation Desk
assesses an overdue fine
for the copy, a message
appears after the Due Date,
displaying the amount.
Brief information
about the patron who
had the copy
checked out appears
in the patron
information box.
When the copy
checks in, brief copy
information appears

information box.
This records circulation
statistics for items used in
the library even though

If Circulation Desk creates a refund for a copy that had been marked lost, or if the
copy you just checked in satisfies a hold or reserve, a message appears.
If you check in an overdue copy, a message appears after the Due Date in the title
information box. If the patron is at the circulation desk and wants to pay the fine,
you can record fine payment by switching to the Fines window.
