if you want to check out the nonĆcirculating copy. If you choose Yes, the

NonĆCirculating Due Date dialog appears:

Enter the date and time on

which you want the

nonĆcirculating item to return.

The date and time default to

the current date and time.

To proceed with the checkout

If you proceed with the checkout, the nonĆcirculating due date you defined

appears in the title information box on the Check Out window as the due date of

the copy.

Note:

Since there is no option to define a password for checking out or renewing

nonĆcirculating copies, you may want to communicate your library policy

regarding nonĆcirculating copies to your library staff.

The second method for handling non-circulating items is to use the

Non-circulating eBook (*NC) circulation type. *NC is a default circulation type

intended for, but not limited to, electronic resources. Its loan period is fixed at 0

(zero) days. Assigning this circulation type to a copy has several effects:

You cannot circulate the copy. When scanning its barcode in the Checkout

window, a block condition message appears. You cannot override the

message, nor enter a non-circulating due date as shown above.

You cannot place a hold, reserve, or fine on the copy. When attempting to do

so, a non-overridable message appears.

You do not inventory the copy. Its inventory status is always Marked.
