For the staff
Printable guides
Three eight-page guides with the real screens. Each coloured number leads from a part of the screen to its explanation. Keep them by the desk or hand them out on the first day.

The desk
Lending, returning, setting aside what someone is waiting for and seeing what is late: what happens every day at the desk, step by step.
-
Open “The readers”
The readers
Finding a reader, seeing everything about them on one page, their card, cards to print, and what to do about a lost card or someone added twice.
Printing them
- Four A4 sheets, double-sidedEach guide fits on four sheets. Staple them or keep them loose by the desk.
- Black and white works tooThe coloured numbers stay apart in grey, and the screenshots survive the photocopier.
- Always the latestWhen a screen changes, the guide is redone. The one you download here matches today's version.
- Inside the libraryAt the foot of every staff screen, “How do I…?” gives the steps for each task, a guided tour in a practice library and these same guides.
