To track items that have been used, but not formally checked out to a patron, you can now use the In-House button in the circulation module. A new In-house column has been added to the Circulation Activity Report to show the In-house use totals. The Weed report has a new option to ignore In-house data. Top Titles report automatically ignores In-house activity.
To use the feature, just gather up the material that has been used and scan them into the circulation module using the new In-House button. If an item was actually checked out, the process will automatically start the normal check in function.
