Functionality Information

If your library has acquired the SIP2 Circulation Interface and enabled the SIP2 Media Types Identification feature, you can set up the Automated Self Check-out Media Types table to map 3M media type values to values in bibliographic and item records. During circulation transactions, the system transmits these media type values to your library's SelfCheck units, which can be configured to take special action based on an item's media type.
