Remote Circulation Library (Check Out)

For training resources Visit Follett Community

You can perform a remote library checkout with a Follett scanning device that has Follett Remote installed on it, or from a computer that does not have Destiny installed.

Before You Begin

Make sure you have the patron barcode labels report printed out (this includes teachers) and set up remote circulation. See Remote Circulation.

Note: The steps that follow cover how to perform a remote circulation checkout using a Follett device with Follett Remote installed. If you are performing a remote circulation from a computer, the Follett Remote interface is slightly different from the Follett device to the computer.

To perform a remote library circulation:

1. On the Follett device with Follett Remote installed, double-click Follett Remote.
2. Select Function > Library > Circulation > Checkout.
3. Click Checkout. The cursor appears in the Patron field.
4. From the patron barcode label report you printed out, scan the applicable patron barcode.
5. In the Book field, scan the copy(ies) the patron is checking out.
6. To begin a check out for a new patron, click New.
7. Repeat the above steps for all copies for the patron.
8. When you are done checking out copies, upload the circulation activity to Destiny. For details, see Remote circulation upload to Destiny.
