Press <Return> to exit Check in
If you wish to leave the checkin screen at any point, just press <Return> at the
checkin item prompt. This will take you back to a circulation menu, unless the last
reader to checkin an item has any fines outstanding, in which case the total of these
fines will display. See 6.5-10 on how the payment or waiving of fines may be
registered at this point. If you do not wish to register the payment or waiving of any
fines here, simply press <Return> once more to go back to a circulation menu.
Enter s to search and/or retrieve an item from OLIS
As at checkout, it is possible to search OLIS from the checkin item prompt by typing s
and pressing <Return>. This again may be useful if the barcode of an item
previously catalogued on OLIS has fallen out or cannot be read by the barcode reader,
as searching for and retrieving the piece record will enable you to check the item in.
Type s at the item prompt and press <Return> and the first staff OLIS OPAC search
screen will appear:

From here you may use any search command to locate the required title (e.g., t= to
browse by title, c= to browse for the shelfmark, or i= to search for the ISBN). Please

form), or the OLIS OPAC reader pocket reference guides (in leaflet form or at
http://www.lib.ox.ac.uk/olis/ ). Then access the item display screen for that title.
You should then locate the current copy (if necessary by selecting the Forward option
and pressing <Return>). The status of the current copy should be DUE BACK:

difficulty working out which is the current copy, access the piece record of any likely
