1. Click the Patron Tab, .
2. Highlight the Loans node under Patron Activity in the side bar to the left.
3. Enter the patron's ID or bar code in the patron dialog box.
4. Highlight the item(s) to renew:
You can set the Sort Type field to Recall, Due Date. This will push all recalled items to the top of the loan list. You can then tell which items have been recalled because they will have an "Effective due date" and a number in the Requests column.
Use the Shift key to highlight only those items that have NOT been recalled -- click on the first item without a hold, hold the Shift key, and then click on the last item listed you want to renew.
Note: you can also hold the Ctrl key to select multiple items that are not sequentially listed.
5. Click the Renew Marked button to the right (Note: This button will be deactivated for items marked Lost or Claimed Returned).
6. In the Renew Loan popup window, click OK (don't worry about setting the Due Date and Due Hour unless you want to set a due date for a time other than the default loan period).
Note: The system will now check for patron factors (blocks, renewal limits, expiration dates) and item factors (holds, renewal limits) that might prevent renewal. If the renewal may not be permitted, an error message will pop up. Click Cancel to stop the renewal and seek assistance from the desk supervisor.
7. After all the items have been processed, a window will open asking whether the patron is present in the library. Check the box if the
patron is present or leave the box unchecked if not and then click Continue.
