A pickup area is the place where a borrower goes to retrieve a closed stack item that he or she has requested. You need to create a separate pickup area for every place where you want borrowers to be able to retrieve items.
Here is an example of the pickup areas a library might have:
In this example, there are three pickup areas, one on each floor. You would need to create a separate pickup area for each floor.
When you create a pickup area, you determine which closed stack location the pickup area is used for and whether the pickup area is displayed for all users or only for library staff when a user makes a request.
If you have not already done so, create a separate closed stack location. (For instructions, see Creating a Closed Stack Location.)
To create a pickup area
