Alma > Fulfillment
When you login, on the left side bar, there is a option called Fulfillment which lets you borrow or return materials.
Click “Manage Patron Service” to check out materials. Type in EMPLID, barcode or name to find patron. The EMPLID is found on the front of the ID card.
Scan the barcode of the materials being borrowed in Loans tab.
The picture below shows the page that opens when patron info is entered. There are tabs for “loans, returns, requests and network activity”.
The loan tab is when patron wants to borrow books. Scan in barcode that is on the back cover inside the book and press enter. If this patron has books to return, click on the return tab and scan in books and click enter for each item.
When patron is also returning books along with borrowing books, click Return tab page and scan in barcodes of items to return. After each transaction, click exit to return to the main page.
Please see images and video below for additional assistance.
When a patron only returns books, go to Fulfillment > “Return Items”. Enter barcodes of items that need to be returned and click enter to complete the transaction. Then, click exit to finish.
