Settle Up Directions: Long In Transit

An item that as been in transit for more then 45 days is considered lost.

The library that placed the item in transit (last scanned) is responsible for payment of replacement cost to owning library. The owning library is responsible for billing the library that set their item into transit.

List of items

long in transit list

The middle of every month, the InfoNet staff will create a list for Minerva called SYS Minerva Long in Transit [MONTH]. Use this list to create your own list of items by creating a list like this:

Check local shelves

Check your shelves to make sure that the item has not found its way home. If found, check in

Create Invoice

If the item is not found, create an invoice for it from the long in transit invoice template [link]. Be aware that most libraries require a W9 [link: http://apps2.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf] from your library or town in order to cut you a check. If you want to send invoices by email, scan a signed copy of your W9 to send along with the invoice.
