Joy, If your bookmobile is a set up to be a different "library" rather than shelving location, you can transfer volumes from your building to the bookmobile inside holdings maintenance for each title. Click on the bookmobile "library" and under "items for selected rows", mark the bookmobile as the item transfer destination. Then click on the call no/volume you wish to transfer in the building "library" and under "items for selected rows" choose "transfer volumes to previously marked library" The system will transfer the call number to the bookmobile.
If you have the bookmobile as a shelving location, you can batch change either through a copy bucket or the item status screen. Let me know if you need instructions for that. Elaine J.

Does anyone know of any way of moving an item's location without engaging the transit feature? We need to know where the items are physically located so that we can find them for our patrons, but if we have to scan them all once to check them out, then 2 minutes later scan them all again to check them in to the bookmobile location, that seems like a lot of extra work for us, and we don't really have the staff to do that. We are in a very rural area, and also need to find a way to make our bookmobile computer work well with Evergreen. The process seems to be rather involved to be doing the offline circulation process every day. And we still, when circulating offline, end up with patrons who are blocked being allowed to take out materials, which we then never see again. Has anyone found a way to make this easier or more streamlined? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Joy Wandrey -- "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." Dr. Seuss
