In-house use can be recorded for catalogued and non-catalogued items.
The library setting Record In-House Use: # of uses thresholds for Are You Sure? dialog allows you to set a threshold at which Evergreen will ask staff to confirm that they really want to record that many in-house uses. The library setting Record In-House Use: Maximum # of uses allowed per entry allows you to set a maximum number of uses that Evergreen will allow to be recorded at a time. These settings can be useful in preventing an accidental scan of a barcode in the # of Uses from inflating in-house statistics.
Note
The statistics for in-house use are separate from regular circulation statistics. The in-house use count of catalogued items is not included in an item’s total use count.
Tip
Keep an eye on the Item Status column when recording in-house use. You may need to take further action if you find items with a status other than Available or Reshelving.
- Go to Circulation → Record In-House Use.
- Enter the number of uses if it is more than the default of 1.
Scan or enter barcode.
The in-house use will be recorded in the grid.
Tip
Any time your library is doing an inventory you can check the box for Update Inventory on all computers where items may be in-housed while you are doing inventory. See the section called “Workflow - In-House Use” for additional details.
