Checking in

Updates to video:
Scan in Items is a better option for 2 reasons.
Return Items while good for patron returns does not appear to be great for checking in paging requests. We have noticed that printing hold and transit slips is inconsistent, so Scan in items is a better alternative.
Using Return Items on anything that is not checked out will be counted as an In-House Use, resulting in inaccurate statistics.
Staff no longer need to select the Item from another institution when checking out materials from other UC campuses.
