Shelving Books
If there are books on the RETURN shelves or in the cardboard box under the counter, you must reshelve them.
• From the RETURN shelves, books are ready to go back to the collection.
• From the cardboard box, you must run:
1. Check in again to make sure that the books have been received correctly.
2. Run the book through the security
device. Make sure that the yellow
light is under the icon of an open door with a book going out.
