CHARGING ITEMS

As the guardians of our library's collection, checking items in and out correctly (circulating items) is essential.

  • Circulating items in and out of the system is also called "Charging" and "Discharging".  Think of it as charging a book to a patron's account until you can discharge it from their care back into our own collection.

 

HOW TO CHARGE ITEMS TO: 

PROFESSOR/FACULTY ACCOUNTS STUDENT ACCOUNTS
1) In Voyager, click "Charge" at the top left.

1) Navigate to the "Card Scanner" Tab in Google Chrome
2) In the new pop-up, click on "Barcode" and then ask them to scan their ID

2) Ask the patron to place their card on the card scanner.
3) With their profile pulled up, you should be able to scan anything they want to check out. 3) Copy the digits of their barcode and paste them into Voyager to proceed with Checkout.                                         
Card and Phone Tap Scanner Barcode and QR Code Scanner
Use the open internet tab to retrieve Patron Barcode, then copy and paste that barcode into Voyager. Works directly in Voyager and only scans digital or physical barcodes.
NOTE:  There are three different numbers associated with every account: 1) the student's barcode (shown or not shown); 2) the student's Institutional Student ID number; 3) their card's specific "Card ID".
If neither option works, consult with your supervisor and check the patron's status in the system to make sure they do not have a hold or have been removed from the system due to graduating or for some other reason.

 

TIGER ID

  • The Tiger ID is the official form of identification for every Auburn University Student . It is used to check out books at the University libraries, gain access to buildings or labs and gain entry to University related events.
  • Patrons can scan their physical ID's or use the app on a phone or smartwatch to pull up their account in Voyager.
  • Fines, Fees, Printing Costs, and other monetary expenses get charged directly to the patrons AU Account
