7.6. In-House Use

Last Updated 05/10/2024


Recording In-house Use 

When recording usage on an item that cannot be removed from the library, such as reference materials or some types of technology, some libraries choose to record usage of these materials as In-house Use. 

  1. Select Record-In House Use from the Circulation menu or press F6.
  2. Choose either barcode or non-cataloged type from drop-down menu, and click Submit.
  3. Enter number of uses, scan or type barcode if necesarry, and click Submit.

Settings

There are two independent library settings that will allow copy alerts to display when scanned as In-house Use:

  • Display copy alert for in-house-use set to true will cause an alert message to appear, if it has one, when recording in-house-use for the copy. 
  • Display copy location check in alert for in-house-use set to true will cause an alert message indicating that the item needs to be routed to its location if the location has check in alert set to true.
The Barcode dropdown menu lists non-cataloged types of items.

Note: The statistics of in-house use are separated from circulation statistics. The in-house use count of cataloged items is not included in the items' total use count. There are several report templates to get in-house use statistics in the Centralized Report Templates →  In House and Non-cataloged Templates folder.
