BiblioTECH's Returns simplifies the process of returning resources to your library. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of returning resources, handling reservations, moving resources to the workroom, and editing trap messages efficiently.

Accessing the Returns area
  • Begin by logging in to your BiblioTECH web app account.
  • Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard.
  • From the dashboard, select the "Circulation" button.
  • In Circulation Manager, select the "Returns" tab. This is where you manage the return of resources in your library.

Returning Resources
Here's how to return resources using BiblioTECH's Circulation Manager:
  • In the Returns area, you'll find a search box. Simply scan the barcode of the resource that is being returned or type the resource's barcode.
  • You can also enter the resource title and select the corresponding resource from the result list by clicking the "Return" button.
  • Once you scan or enter the barcode, the resource will be returned, and it will appear listed at the bottom of the screen as a returned resource.

Managing Returned Resources
In the Returns area, you have several options for managing returned resources:
  • Bulk Actions: For each returned resource, there is a tick box. When you tick a box, the "Bulk Actions" button becomes visible. You can use this button to perform actions on multiple returned resources at once.
    • Move to Workroom: Selecting this option moves the resource from its original library to the Workroom library. This is useful if the resource is damaged or requires maintenance.
    • Edit Trap Message: Use this option to edit the trap message associated with the resource.
  • Actions: the Actions button is available for individual resources and it has the same options as Bulk Actions.

Handling Reservations
If there is a reservation pending for a returned resource, you will receive a pop-up message on the screen indicating this information. You can then follow your library's procedures for handling reserved resources.

By following these steps, you can efficiently manage returns, handle reservations, move resources to the workroom, and edit trap messages using BiblioTECH's Return Manager. This tool is designed to simplify the return process and help you efficiently manage resources within your library. Thank you for using BiblioTECH for your library management needs.
