STEPS FOR CHECKING OUT BOOKS 

1)  Before checking out a book or materials, ALWAYS MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO DAMAGES!!

     If a book already has an “OUCH” label on it, continue to step 2.

     If there is no “OUCH” label, fill out a pink damaged slip.

2) MAKE SURE THE COMPUTER IS ON THE "CHECK OUT" MODULE.

3) SCAN STUDENT'S GO-CARD. 

    NO GO-CARD?  Ask to see the student’s computer print out of his/her schedule. 

    You can look up the student’s library account until new Go-Cards are distributed. 

• IF THE COMPUTER BEEPS WHEN YOU SCAN THE GO-CARD or look up a borrower,
READ WHAT IS ON THE SCREEN!**
• If a student has an overdue book, tell him / her what they have out & ask that they can not borrow any more materials until they have returned the overdue.
• If any other message appears, call the teacher-librarian or ask the student to see the teacher-librarian later.

4) SCAN BARCODE FOR EACH ITEM 

     Books / PBs / Reference:  The barcode is on the top left-hand corner of the book.

     Videos:  It is either on the video case, or on the video itself  - inside the case.

5)  DE-SENSITIZE books.

6)  PUT A DATE DUE SLIP IN THE BOOK.     

      Remind the student to return or renew the item before the date due.
