Checking Out Uncataloged Items

Using the on-the-fly (OTF) function, you create minimal-level item and bibliographic records, according to the template the library has previously defined. This allows the uncataloged items to be checked out before they are fully cataloged.

Note:
Your library may circulate materials that are never intended for full cataloging (ephemeral items). These do not require an on-the-fly template. See Circulating Ephemeral Items.
