How to Checkout Items in Alma
Answer
To check materials out to a patron, go to “Fulfillment” at the top on the Persistent menu bar and select “Manage Patron Services.”
Scan patron’s ID card in the “Scan patron’s ID or search for patron” field.
The patron’s account appears and it defaults to the “Loans” tab. Before checking materials out, make sure the Write Tags security is set to turn the item security OFF. o Scan the item’s barcode number by placing the item(s) on the antennae. o Click on the “Done” button after checking materials out in the patron’s account.
*PATRONS WILL RECEIVE A LOAN RECEIPT VIA EMAIL AFTER YOU CLICK ON THE DONE BUTTON. IF YOU DO NOT CLICK ON THE BUTTON, PATRONS WILL NOT RECEIVE A LOAN RECEIPT.
