Repair Books

Circulation/Access Services checks out the books to the REPAIR patron.
A cart full of items is brought down to TS periodically.
The items are placed on the gray repair cart next to the processing table.
In CATALOGING, the item status is changed on each book to DAMAGED and REPAIR is entered into the Free Text field.
Depending on the slip inserted into the damaged item, a new label will be made, tape placed on the spine, tape placed on the pages, necessary parts will be glued, loose pages will be inserted, etc.
If a new barcode is needed, a cataloger will relink the book.
Be sure there is an ownership stamp inside the front cover.
Be sure it has a security tag.
After the repair, the REPAIR status is removed in the CATALOGING module.
The item is discharged in the CIRCULATION module.
The materials are counted before being taken back up to Circulation/Access Services.
To pull up items checked out to repair, go into the CIRCULATION module and search either of these two patrons:

OU REPAIR
XXXXXXX756128
or
OU REPAIR DOCUMENTS
XXXXXXX596811
Renew any if still in TS for any reason, so a LOST ITEM BILL will not be generated.
