Item Not on File

This shows what your screen will look like when you check in an item that is not on file. This does not mean that there is a tag error; the item is simply not on file and must be sent to Tech for cataloging.

If an item has a tag error, it will either not read on the pad at all, or the barcode number will be incorrect. It may appear as gibberish, a partial number, an X, or a 0. An item that appears this way should be sent to Tech for the tag to be rescanned.

No Tape on Tech Slips

Please do not tape Tech slips to the items sent to Tech Services. The tape does not always come off or may tear the cover. Please use a good rubber band. If the slip does not stay on securely, it can be tucked inside the cover of a DVD or CD. One end can also be tucked between the pages of a book then wrapped around so the slip clearly shows and a rubber band put around the book to keep any loose pages in and keep the slip attached.

Where Is It?

When sending any item to Tech for repair it must be changed  in LS2 Staff using "Special Status" on the "Check-In" screen. If an item shows as "Checked In" or "In Transit" when it is really in Tech Services, this is very confusing to the patrons or to other staff members who may be searching for that item.
