A fast-added item is one for which a short bib record was created, usually at the time of checkout. This is typically done when a borrower wants to check out an uncataloged item. (For more information see Fast-Adding Item and Bib Records.)
Your system administrator can specify for each collection which fast-add action should occur when items of that collection are created and checked in.
When you check in a fast-added item, Horizon prompts you with one of these actions:
• | Do nothing. Check in the item as usual and reshelve it. The record remains unchanged in the database. |
• | Send the item to cataloging staff to be completely cataloged. Horizon does not delete the fast-added bib or item record. |
• | Delete the item record but keep the bib record. Horizon displays a message informing you of the deletion. |
• | Delete both the item and the bib record. Horizon displays a message informing you of the deletion. |
To check in a fast-added item
1 | In the Checkin/Request Processing window, identify the item. |
If the item you checked in is currently on hold, an Item on Hold message appears. Click OK to complete the checkin and make the item available for pickup, or click Cancel to complete the checkin without making the item available for pickup.
Horizon then displays a message describing any action to be taken.
2 | Click Continue to acknowledge that you have seen the message. |
Horizon checks in the item, sounds an audible signal, and displays the title and other information in the list box. This information includes status such as Fast Add, and Shelving Cart or In Cataloging.
Note: If CKI Location Control has been activated and configured for your location, Horizon displays an alert if it checks in an item belonging to another location. Depending on your library system's implementation of the feature, Horizon either disallows the checkin or prompts for a confirmation before allowing the checkin.
3 | Follow your library’s procedure to handle this type of fast-added item. |
