Scan In Items is used for changing the status of an item, or moving it out of the Collections Services work order completely. See also: Tracking Materials through the Collections Services Work Order
When an item is referred for original cataloging:
Then place the item on the appropriate shelf in Resource Description.
When an item is referred to Conservation:
Insert a blue Conservation flag with your contact information and notes
Apply a label / paper clip a label to the blue Conservation flag
Then place the item in the Conservation bin in Shipping & Receiving.
When items are fully cataloged and labeled, they must be moved out of work order before being sent to their final location(s).
This should only be done just before the material leaves the building, as it will change the public status to “In Transit” in the catalog.
