Create a Quick-Circ item
To create a quick-circ item for circulation:
- Open the Quick Circ Item workform using one of the following methods:
- From the Polaris shortcut bar, select File > New, and select Quick-circ Item Record from the list of objects.
- From the Polaris shortcut bar, select Utilities, Quick-circ Item Records, and select File > New from the Quick-circ Item Record List.
- From the Check Out workform, select Tools > Quick-circ Item Record or press CTRL+Q.
Note:
From an existing Quick-circ Item workform, selectFile > New. You can copy the existing record exactly, or open a new record with a blank barcode.
The Quick Circ Item workform opens.
- Scan or type the barcode in the Item barcode box.
For quick-circ items, the system does not check the item barcode format definitions set in Polaris Administration (Profiles, Staff client). However, you cannot use a barcode that is already assigned to another quick-circ item or to a conventional item.
- Select the item’s assigned branch.
The default value is the workstation log-on branch. The available options are the same as those available in the conventional item record. They depend on your branch’s settings and your permissions.
- If your library uses collections, select a collection from the Assigned collection list.
Your library may use specific collections for quick-circ items.
- Select a material type.
The default value is set in Polaris Administration. Your policy may be to use any available and appropriate material type for quick-circ items, or you may use one material type for all quick-circ items. You can set up a material type specifically for this use.
- Select File > Save.
