How to add book rental records to your catalogue

The process for adding Book Rental records to your catalogue differs from usual cataloguing in a few small but significant ways. The reasons for this include the high number of copies a Book Rental title may have in comparison to an item in general circulation. Also, Book Rental cataloging and circulation are often completed by teams that may change annually, and may not be using the site on a regular basis. Additionally, circulation actions for Book Rental tend to take place only twice in the year, but in very high volume over a short period of time, once to check the items in and once to check the items out.

The attached video file walks through the process of adding records for Book Rental with the above behaviour in mind. While some specifics may vary from site to site, the basic steps will remain the same.
