Quick Notes

• Deposit Slips:  Don’t save the data you entered in the Excel deposit slips when you’re finished.  We want to start each day with a clean slip.
• FLIP Kits:  After checking in returned FLIP Kits, check them out to the KEN-REFURB account if they’re going to the Children’s Museum to be refurbished.  If they have a holds, print out the hold label, then check the kit out to the REFURB account so we can track its location while it’s in transit.
• Tag all incoming items:  Please tag all incoming items without tags, including items from Central and other locations (except ILL).  This will save us a lot of time later when they’re returned.
