Unbarcoded Periodicals

Sometimes there will be students checking out periodicals that do not have barcodes on them. (These are generally older journals.) For these materials, we use the check-out slip shown below. These slips are in the drawer that is on top of the Circulation Desk (by the sensitizer/desensitizer). The shelves where we keep the Public Patron Borrowing Rules handout rests on these drawers. Pull out a blank slip and fill it out as in the following example:

Desensitize the item as usual. File the completed slip in the front of the same drawer.

When unbarcoded periodicals are returned, please make sure to pull the slip that matches it and put it in the “to be shredded” box in the back. Sensitize the item and put it on the truck to be taken to sorting.
