Enabling Keyboard Input in Circulate

By default the library system is setup to use a barcode scanner, this is the simplest way to issue and return books, but it is also possible to type the barcodes into circulate should you wish to use a keyboard instead. 

  • Log into the library system as the Administrator (Not Librarian).
  • Open the 'Librarian Only' area.
  • On the menu bar at the top of the page select 'Settings'.
  • From the menu select 'General...'.
  • When the box has loaded select the 'Settings' tab.
  • Under 'Junior Librarian Settings' in the bottom left-hand corner tick the option for 'Allow Keyboard Input'.
  • Press 'OK' to save the changes.
Now the borrowers will be able to type into the barcode boxes in circulate using the number keys on the keyboard. Please be aware that this and any other changes made on the settings tab may take 24-48 hours to apply through to the homepage & circulate.
