[Evergreen-general] Double check-in

Mon Apr 11 15:46:32 EDT 2022

For our library, it is to cut down on human error.  Sometimes it happens because the clerk is not paying attention as they scan for check-in, but I think it is often a clerk getting distracted before they scan the book and then laying the book down with the scanned ones by mistake.

Hi,

Out of curiosity (and just to double-check that there isn't a lurking bug), is the double-checkin process meant to address concerns about library staff forgetting to check in the items in the first place, or is there something else going on?

Regards,

Galen

A couple of our branches check everything in twice. One requires a different person to do the second check. The only problem with that occurs when the first person is looking for work to do and isn't allowed to do the second check in of the cart she checked in earlier in the day.

Kathleen,

I agree, the same person should not do both checkins. Mistakes are more likely to be caught by a different person.

Thanks,

We have had some issues with items getting to the shelves and not getting checked in. We are a small library and have two pages; noRFID or automatic sorters.

We were going to add a double check to our process but not sure of the best way to do that without recording double stats.

Any ideas appreciated!
