INN-Reach Paging Slips
Overview
Paging Slips are used by library staff to locate materials that have been requested by local library patrons or through the INN-Reach system. Everyday, each library will print paging slips. The paging slips are generated for both cluster or local system items (Cluster Page) and for items requested by INN-Reach (MOBIUS Page). Pickup Anywhere (PUA Page) paging slips are printed with INN-Reach slips and are noted by the letters “PUA”.
Once printed, the library staff will pull the books from the stacks. Books requested by local borrowers will be checked-in and placed on the hold shelf or set in-transit to another pick-up location in the local system. Books requested by MOBIUS borrowers will be checked-out using the INN-Reach check-out function and prepared for shipment via the delivery system. Both Pickup Anywhere (PUA) and INN-Reach requests are processed the same way for outgoing books.
