Gathering Items from the Shelves

After you determine the types of items that are appropriate and enjoyable for the borrower, you can determine the specific titles you want and gather those items from the shelves.

To gather items from the shelves

1 Search on your system for specific titles that are appropriate for the borrower.

For example, you can do an author search on the borrower’s favorite authors, or you can do a subject search on his or her favorite topics. You can also do a title search for certain titles you know about.

2 When you locate a title you want, make sure copies are available, then write down the call number.
3 Locate the items on the shelves and set them aside for checkout.

If you are gathering items for more than one borrower, be sure to keep track of which items are for which borrower.

4 Remember to check out the items to the borrowers before you arrange to deliver them.
