ILL Digitization Scan-in Procedure on ALMA
In ALMA, change location to Digitization
Scan in barcode of book or the Request ID
Once the request shows up, click on Manage In-Process Items
The request will now be in the Digitization queue and will be ready to upload and send after scanning.
Troubleshooting:
If the message “Transit for Reshelving” appears, change the location to either Rivera or Orbach, depending on which library the book/journal is from.
Next, scan the barcode of the book.
A blue box will appear on the right side of the screen. Click on the ellipses beside it and then put a check mark in the square box with the title information. This will attach the record.
Change location back to Digitization and scan in again.
Click on “Manage-in process items” to put the record into the queue to upload and send.
Troubleshooting issue #2:
The barcode needs to match the request for the scan-in process. If another edition of a book or volume of a journal has been paged for the request, the barcode won’t match up and the request won’t scan-in. Check the edition of the book and the volume/issue of the journal. This can happen with journals if there is an incorrect citation and the request is attached to the wrong volume.
