Circulation: command line

We have all kinds of helpful command line shortcuts. 

For example, have you ever used statistics mode? Type “Y” into the command line, and then scan or enter the barcode of any items you want to add statistics to without actually checking them out to patrons. This is handy for tracking the use of items that aren’t checked out, but still used, like electronics. Use “Y@number” to add more than one checkout stat to an item–for example, Y@3 would add three usage stats to anything scanned. To exit statistics mode, just enter the . command, or x.
