Unregistered User

People without a Dartmouth ID or Dartmouth Library card may listen to recordings and videos and do research in the library.  Although they cannot check out library materials from Paddock, they may borrow headphones to listen to CDs or DVDs in the library using the following procedures for an unregistered user.

  • In the “key or scan patron barcode” box on the Check Out (Circulation Desk) Function in Sierra, type in “nunregistered user”.  The “n” is the tag for name.  (ex. #1 below)    Alternatively, you can select the SEARCH box, n PATRON NAME and type in “unregistered user”  (see ex. #2 below).  Then select Enter.
  • Either way the record for Unregistered user will appear and you can then scan the barcode on the headphones.  (see ex. #3 below)
  • Hold a form of ID such as a driver’s license or a credit card and place it in the cubby of the headphones patron is using.
