Review checkout history and chase overdue books
A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 5 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.
How to review checkout history and chase overdue books
- 1Open "Library" in the sidebar and click the "History" tab under the page title
- 2The "Checkout history" page lists every checkout and return — the book and its barcode, the borrower, the dates out, due and back, and the outcome
- 3Start with the "Overdue" chip — it carries a live count and leaves out class textbook sets — then filter with "All", "Textbooks", "Checked out", "Returned", "Lost", "Damaged"
- 4Overdue rows are tinted red, count the days over, and show a "Past due" badge; a return in any condition but good shows a red badge (hover it for the return note)
- 5Click a book title to open its page — the copy that's out names the borrower and the due date
Part of Library, resources & reservations
Barcode labels you print yourself, a scan station for checkout, holds families place from home, shared equipment reserved with dates instead of arguments — and the textbooks, shelf counts, and supply cupboard that come with all of it.
