Instructions

For each Item, do the following: 

1. Find paperwork

   • Confirm the information on the paperwork matches that of the item

   • Set aside items missing our paperwork

   • Make sure the item is in reasonably good condition

     1. • Bad condition: wet/moisture damage, so much writing inside that it’s distracting, cover or pages coming off/out

        • If item is in bad condition, give to a staff member

2. In Tipasa, Scan the request ID

   • If you see a "Multivolume" tag, check the staff notes to confirm all books have been returned together

   • Click Mark as received

VDX to Tipasa Check-In Protocol

For each Item, do the following: 

1. Check Item Barcode in both VDX and Tipasa

   • If only VDX ILL Number is available: 

     1. look up item in VDX, there will usually be an OCLC Number included with the request. Can also be found on most VDX paperwork.

   • In Tipasa, look for a warning banner at the top of the request page as well as an option to 'Edit-ISO.' These signs indicate the request was originated and can be subsequently handled in VDX. No further steps are required in Tipasa at this point.

   • Return to VDX and proceed to Check-In the Item. The system will update the OCLC record within a few minutes. 

   • Follow Step 3 above.
