If an item is not on the shelf when completing your router list each morning, please look for it at your location for at least a couple of days - It may be in another spot and hasn't made it to the shelf yet.  If you are still unable to locate the item, you will need to place a TRACE on that item (and not missing).  Staff will need to go into Item Maintenance and place each nonlocated items on TRACE using your Library's card (e.g. BI will use the Belle Isle Library Card, etc.). DO NOT USE THE SYSTEM CARD #OOOOOO43!!!!  These items will now show up on report 61 - Tracer List.  REMEMBER... trace in Carl.X means something totally different than a tracer in our old system.  Our old tracers items are now called Claims Returned and Claims Neverhad.

Steps for Placing a Trace:

1. Open Item Maintenance
2. Enter the item number and search
3. Double click on the item in the flex grid below the bibliographic information
4. Select TRACE in the pop up box
5. Enter your library's card number in the Patron ID box and hit enter
6. You can now select the PLACE TRACE icon to complete the function (You should notice the status of the item change to Trace)
