Circulation Help

What can I do in Circulation?

Circulation is where items are check out and in to patrons. Some libraries use different nomeclature for these functions.

Koha uses the following terms:

• Check Out = issue an item to a patron
• Check In = return an item from a patron
• Transfer = used to change the holding branch of an item
• Holds = items that patrons have placed a request on (called "reserves" in some libraries - not to be confused with "Course Reserves" used in academimc libraries)
• Fast Cataloging = used for quick cataloging of a small record done at the time of circulation
