Editing ILL Item Barcodes

To edit barcodes for ILL items, you must be assigned permissions 65 (ILL Admin), 124 (Update item records), and 164 (Update patron records). See Permissions Used by Sierra for more information.

To edit a barcode for an ILL item:

  1. Choose Circulation Desk from the Function list.
  2. Retrieve the patron record of the patron who requested the ILL item.
  3. Select the ILL tab.
  4. In the table of ILL items, either select the entry to modify and choose Edit | Edit Barcode, or right-click the entry and choose Edit barcode. ILL displays the Edit barcode dialog. If a barcode is already present in the ILL record, the value displays in the Key or scan item barcode text box.
  5. Modify the value in the Key or scan item barcode text box as appropriate:
    • Enter a new barcode for the ILL item.
    • Change the displayed barcode.
    • Delete the displayed barcode.
  6. Choose OK. If you are modifying or deleting an existing barcode, ILL prompts you to confirm. To confirm, choose Yes. To cancel, choose No.
