[AISLE-Share] Class Circulation strategies

Mon Sep 10 09:57:18 CDT 2018

We have 20 minutes...and not even really that because part of that time is
walking to or from PE.  I have moved my screen for self checkout--but I
haven't figured out what to do about overrides.  I don't have a keyboard
there--just a screen. Do you allow them to just override themselves then?
If you are having them self checkin, when do you do that??
