New Books
When the book is checked back into the Library, you will see the same message as when the item was checked out. Answer OK, but this time you will need to remove the New Books Item Status. Here is how:
- In Aleph, select ‘Items’ from the menu at the top of the page.
- Then ‘Change Item Process Status'.
The box that appears gives you a choice of item statuses. As you are actually just removing the NC Status, leave the top field blank.
- The default status is “SMU General Loan’.
- Scan the barcode in the ‘Barcode’ field.
- Click on ‘OK’ and the status in Aleph will be changed to ‘SMU General Loan’.
- Refresh the screen or rescan the book, to double check the status has been changed. Now the book is ready to be shelved.
