Tip for January 28, 2019
When you're in Circulation and you need to find a patron fast, use the Lookup command. No, not the Lookup button — that is useful, but the L command will help you find your patron and make them current in fewer steps.
For example...
- In the command line, type L anderson <enter> to bring up a list of all patrons with the last name Anderson.
- From there you can tab to the list of results, and tap <enter> to open the first result or key through the results and press enter. Viola! Darla is current in Circulation.
That was 2 steps and no clicking.
As a comparison, if you press Lookup, you have to:
- Press Lookup.
- Type "anderson".
- Select the name.
- Then press <enter>.
That's 4 steps with clicking.
So pull up your patrons the fast way—use the Lookup command.
