The column I wrote for next Tuesday’s Lake County Record-Bee is about the time I spent pulling requested items from the library shelves last Saturday. Today I got hands-on experience in the next step of the process.
After pulling another list, I used a laser pen to scan each book’s barcode (I input a few by hand that the pen had difficulty with.
As I scanned each book, the computer screen told me where that book ought to go within our three-county network. I circled the correct branch on a routing slip and placed it in the book.
Finally, I packed the books in crates for an upcoming pick-up. The whole process from start to finish, in about an hour-and-a-half.
