Question: 3. How do I check out an item if I do not have a physical barcode scanner?

Answer: To check out an item without scanning a barcode, open your library software and click the Checkout button on the toolbar. In the borrower section, select a borrower from the list or type the first few letters of their last name to find them. Next, move to the item section and select the book from the list, or type the first few letters of the title to find it. Once both the borrower and the item are selected, click Checkout to finalize the transaction.

Question: 4. In "Circulation" > "Check out" > "Loan History", there is a tab on the far right labeled "Notes." How do I add a note to a loan?

Answer: You can add notes directly while processing a live checkout transaction. When you select a borrower and a book, a NOTES box will appear in the book section where you can type your comments. Once you finalize the loan, this note is permanently saved with the transaction history. You can easily choose to display or hide the NOTES box under the system Options window (4).
