Hi I was hoping that someone could tell me how I would check what year 12 students haven’t returned English textbooks. The English teacher asked if I could check what books haven’t been returned yet. We have already generated a calendar for next year and since roll over the year 12 students are no longer in the system. Having a crash course in Oasis as my library admin has retired…
- We still have our Year 12s on Oasis Library. They will be there until Oasis Admin send us the list of the Year 12s who have officially left. It depends on how you operate at your school. For a start it sounds like your Library catalogues English texts. We don’t as it is really the responsibility of individual faculties to look after their texts. (The Department recognises this and actually advises against this). However, if you have ended up in this situation then it will be a lot of extra work with complications. At our school, students must bring around a ‘Leaver’s Form’ and have it signed by Library, English, Maths, etc.If a book is outstanding then the form is not signed and the name of the book and cost are written. Sometimes, students will of course still leave with books outstanding in which case our office sends a letter asking for payment or the return of the books. Sometimes this also means we mark the book as missing and if it does eventually return, then it goes back on the system when returned via the circulation desk.Some schools type the name of the last borrower on Oasis.
Your school should have had a similar system in place. We have generated a new calendar but the Year 12s are still there. A couple have still not returned books. If you had ‘Leaver’s Forms’ we would assume they are filed somewhere so if the Year 12s are not on Oasis Library then you will have to cross check names with forms. Hope this helps.- When the list of official Year 12 leavers arrives a ‘Refresh’ is done on Library Oasis.

Hi Thanks for that. We do accession all faculty books and it is alot of work. We also have leavers forms, which I cannot sign if ANY books are still out. This can become complicated as some students will return their books and some of them will have been borrowed out by other students…as textbooks can become mixed up in class. I now put stickers with the students name on the front. The other problem is students handing them back in to the faculty. I then have to send the student with the barcode back to the faculty to find the book. I have requested staff to check that the student has returned the book through the library before accepting them but……
