Student Circulate is designed for students to issue and return resources themselves, without the need of any staff support. It is much more basic than the Admin version and many of the more advanced features are not available.
It is especially helpful when there is limited staff presence in the library, circulate can be unlocked and left open on a publicly accessible computer where students can access it and issue and return their own resources as needed.
Issuing A Resource
To issue a resource, start by scanning the resource barcode and the resource data will be populated on screen.
Next, scan the borrower barcode, this will populate the borrower details on screen and issue the resource to them.
Returning A Resource
To Return a resource, you simply scan the book barcode and it will be automatically returned.
If you wish to use the keyboard and type a barcode number rather than using a barcode scanner, you can activate and deactivate keyboard input for circulate in the management settings.
