Equipment Procedures / Maps

Basic circulation procedure for 1-week equipment:

Check Out:

• Patron comes to the desk needing a piece of equipment.

• Fill out an equipment checklist form with the patron and walk through the bundle verifying that each piece is present (if there is something missing, you CANNOT check out the item). If everything is complete, check out the items in Alma.

• Thank the patron for their patience.

Check In:

• Ask the patron to wait for a moment while you verify that all of the pieces are intact

• Get the equipment checklist form they filled out and, in front of the patron, check for all pieces (if there is something missing, you CANNOT check in the item).

• If all pieces are present, check the item in.

• Thank the patron for their patience.

• Give the equipment to a supervisor to have the internal memory wiped.

• SUPERVISORS: Place all 7 day laptops in the "Damage Check" bin before returning them to the circulation pool.
