2.3. Pre-Cat Checkouts
Last Updated 06/16/2026
Checking out Pre-cataloged Items
- Go to patron’s Check Out screen.
- Scan the item barcode.
- At prompt, enter the required information.
- Click Precat Checkout.
Note
This screen does not respond to the enter key or carriage return provided by a barcode scanner when the cursor is in the ISBN field. This behavior prevents pre-cataloged items from being checked out before you are done entering all the desired information.
Tip
On check-in, Evergreen will prompt staff to re-route the item to cataloging. Staff should never edit the UNCATALOGED item record attached to TCN -1 for these pre-cataloged circulations. There are instructions for correctly transferring the barcode to an appropriate bib record in the Moving Pre-cataloged Items to the Correct Bib Record page of the Cataloging knowledge book.
