Method 3—Place unsorted items on a cart and shelve
You can use this method for “in-house” items or any other group of unsorted items that you want to shelve. For
example, you can use this method to shelve items directly from an unsorted or rough-sorted cart.
1. Place unsorted items onto a cart.
2. Use the Sort-and-shelve function to read the unsorted “in-house” items that you
placed on a cart.
a) From the Home menu, press Sort.
b) Press and hold the trigger (or use the trigger lock) and read each item by
scanning the shelves of the cart from left to right in sequence.
Do not release the trigger between shelves.
c) The DLA creates a numbered shelving-order list from the items that you read.
d) The shelving-order graphic displays the location of the items as if they were all
on a single shelf.
To interpret this display, you will need to consider the sequence of cart shelves
you scanned.
For example, if you scanned two shelves and the display graphic shows the
item near the middle of the shelf, you should find that item near the end of the
first shelf that you scanned, or near the start of the second shelf that you
scanned.
3. Move the shelving cart into the library.
4. Use the shelving-order list to assist you in shelving the items on the cart.
a) Use the item-location numbering and graphics to help you find the next item for
shelving from the cart.
b) If desired, remove any search items that appear with a search-list name next to
them.
5. Optional—Press Shelve and use the DLA to find the correct shelf location for the
selected item.
