I received a canceled book request, and I need to return it without contacting the customer
Symptom
- You have a book you did not expect to receive because you canceled the request and you want to know how to return the book without contacting the customer
Applies to
- ILLiad.
Resolution
If you do not want the customer to be contacted when processing the book to be checked in and returned, here are the steps you should follow:
- Check the book in from Lending library. This will update OCLC showing you have received the book.
- Route the request to "Checked Out to Customer." By doing this, you will not send out a notice to the patron.
- Check the book back in using the "Check-In" under the Borrowing ribbon.
- Finish the rest of your processing for returning an item following your process for Returning items. An example is found in the Checking In/Out Items: Returning Items to the Lender documentation.
