Remote circulation is a method of performing circulation tasks remotely (apart from Destiny). You can perform remote circulation using a Follett Device with Follett Remote installed, or on a computer with Follett Remote installed. To get Follett Remote, click the link for the type of computer you have:

important: In Library Manager and Textbook Manager, you can only mark copies lost and manage fines and holds online, not offline or remotely.

example: You take a cart of books to a classroom for students to check out resources. If the students decide to check out some resources that you have on the cart, you can check them out offline and when you get back to the library, you can upload the checkouts to Destiny.

  • A Follett device with Follett Remote installed
