Checking Books Out

Here's how to check books out (both library and textbooks).

  1. A scanner is NOT required, but is an option.

  2. Go the the media website - http://media.flaschools.org

  3. Click on the "Forest Lake High School" link (THIS MUST BE DONE BEFORE YOU LOG IN)

  4. Click the login button on the upper right corner.

  5. Log in using your district login name and password.

  6. Click on the tab labeled "Circulation"

  7. On the left side navigation pane, click the "Check Out" option. (Usually open by default.)

  8. In the "Find" box, type in the student's last name, and hit the "Find Patron" button.

  9. Be sure the "Only search" button is checked and set to "Last Name" or "Patron Name" as pictured below.

  10. Click on the appropriate student's name. (If they are not listed, check with Brockman to see that they are added.)

  11. To check out a book, scan in the barcode, OR you can type in the barcode number into the "Find" box and hit enter. (You can skip the "T " to make it faster.)

  12. The computer should make a happy sound and check the item out to the student.

  13. If you receive an unhappy sound and a warning message, you can override the warning to check out the item anyway. Let the student know if they have overdue items.

  14. Go back to step 8 to check out the next student.
