Check-In And Check-Out

Open Reading Room > Assets > Check-In / Check-Out to turn an eligible reservation or walk-in into an active session and to close the session when the member leaves.

Enter a member name or Member ID and choose Search, or press Enter, to submit the member lookup. This is separate from the workspace Refresh action.

Choose a member from the search results when names or IDs are similar. The action beside the search changes to Check in or Check out only when one eligible reservation or active session is unambiguous. When several records could apply, use the action on the correct reservation or session row instead; the software does not guess or update several records automatically.

Check In​

  1. Scan or search the member.
  2. Select the reservation, room, table, or seat shown as eligible.
  3. Review membership, plan access, time, position, and charge when applicable.
  4. Confirm check-in.

Check Out​

Find the active session, confirm the member and position, then choose Check out. Review any displayed duration or charge result before completing the next member.

Do And Don'ts​

  • Do check members out promptly so capacity remains accurate.
  • Do confirm the selected position before check-in.
  • Don't create a second active session for the same position.
  • Don't bypass a required payment or Membership Plan restriction.

FAQ​

Can a member check in without a reservation?

Only when the library allows walk-ins and an eligible position is available.
