04/04 Chapter 13 Circulating items with a PHD 177
To make sure that the scans you collect with your PHD are processed the way
you want, follow these steps:
1. From the toolbar in the Circulation Desk window, select Remote Circ. The
Remote Circulation window appears:
To change the transfer
settings, see step 6.
Records the use of
items that weren't
checked out
Select the PHD model
you're using.
These instructions
change based on
the PHD you choose.
2. Select the Record InĆLibrary Usage option to include the use of any items not
checked out but not on the shelves in your circulation statistics.
See also: You can also collect circulation statistics for all the items in your
library that get used, even if they aren't checked out, when you check them in
from the Check In window. See Reshelving items" on page 152.
3. The circulation type/patron type combinations represent the circulation
policies defined in System Setup. For each patron type, you define a loan
period for each circulation type. If you have many patron types and many
circulation types, you might not have defined all of the combinations. In
cases where Circulation Desk cannot find a defined loan period, it uses the
number of days you enter in the Remote Circulation window as the loan
period. To avoid this situation, check your policies in System Setup to make
sure that all loan periods are defined for each patron type before transferring
the scans. For information about setting up your loan periods, see
Circulation policies: who can have what and for how long" on page 76.
Important: If an undefined patron type/circulation type combination is
encountered during processing, Circulation Desk defines the
policies for this combination. It sets the fine limit at $25.00 and the
fine increment at $0.10 for this patron type/circulation type
combination. It sets all other maximum limits to zero.
4. Under If Copy Does Not Exist, choose how you want to handle nonexistent
copies:
S To fail all transactions involving copies not found in the database, choose
Fail the transaction.
