Daily Workflow (Brief)
If you are not personally authorized then log in to computer using the pull list log in and password.
Access the request by clicking the ARCH-shortcut on the desktop.
- Print the request slips in your branch folder on the X: Drive. Once printed, move the file to the Completed folder.
- Search your stacks for the books and journals using the Call No.'s (or Journal titles) printed on the request slips.
- Locate and bookmark each article/chapter with its request slip -or- write the conditional/cancellation reason on the request slip.
- Log in to scanner with EID. Scan and deliver each article/chapter using the ILS Lending Requests button -or- use the Lending Unfilled Requests button to deliver a scan of the request slip with the Conditional/Cancellation reason written on it.
- Log off. The only way to log yourself out of the scanning station is by hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del and selecting Log off.
You will automatically be logged off after 10 minutes of inactivity.
