More CIRCULATION Details
Seamlessly integrated into PC Card Catalog
BASIC, CIRCULATION adds the superb Check Out
and Check In features that continue to set it apart
from competitive library systems. The Check In and Check
Out activities are on one screen where the librarian can
switch between the two functions with a click of the mouse.
•
Check Out: Recall a patron by scanning
a card or using the handy alphabetic name look up. The patron's
entire status (Items Out, Items Overdue, Fines and Reserves)
are instantly displayed. Check items out using the bar code
scan or Accession Number entry. A new Patron can be added
on this screen and can immediately Check Out.

your library.
•
Check In: Scan an item's bar code or
enter its Accession Number. The item's return status (on-tme
or overdue) is displayed with any fines automatically calculated.
The patron's status (Items Out, Items Overdue, Fines and
Reserves) is also displayed. Deal with Fines immediately
or continue to Check In creating Fine records for later
resolution. A Checked In item can be Rechecked immediately
with a press of the Recheck button. Switch back to Check
Out with the click of the mouse.
•
Items may be Checked Out for any one of three
loan periods (defined by the librarian.) Each item is assigned
its default loan period during Item Entry. With a click
of the mouse, the loan period may be switched to one of
the other Due Dates. (The librarian can also create a custom
Due Date.) Occassionally, it may be useful to alter the
Circulation Date which is convenient to do on any of the
Circulation screens.
•
When a Patron's information
is displayed, the librarian can list on-screen the items
out and items overdue. From this list one or all of
the items can be Rechecked or Checked In. Similarly, a list
of the Patron's Fines can be displayed and cleared (paid)
one at a time or all at once.
•
Add Reservations on the Check Out/Check
In screen. PC Card Catalog references Titles when
looking for reserved items. Therefore, any returned copy
of an item can fulfill the reservation. The Reserves feature
can also distinguish between various media types with the
same title.
•
Overdue Notices can be printed on postal
card stock for easy mailing or onto letterhead for envelope
mailngs. The notice can include Fines, Overdue items or
both. Similarly, notices can be e-mailed saving the delay
and cost of traditional mail service. .
•
A separate set of Circulation Listings
can be displayed on-screen or listed on the printer. These
Listings include Patron list (in alphabetic or Patron Number
order), Items Checked Out, Overdue or fines by Patron or
by Class (Family.)
•
A powerful Circulation Statistics
list can be printed or listed on-screen. The list will show
the number of items in each Classification group plus a
total of items in the collection, the total number of check
outs and the total number of different items checked out.
Set your time period for your reports.
•
A new Item Usage report lists the total
number of times each item has be checked out. The last check
out date is also maintained. This report is invaluable for
determining items which should be removed ("weeded")
from the collection.
•
One of the most useful features is the Inventory.
Use the quick scanning feature to add items on-hand to the
Inventory list. Print the Inventory Reconciliation List
to reconcile items checked out with items found on the shelves.
Discover items that are missing or are misshelved.
