====== Evergreen--Staff FAQ ======


===== How Do I Display an Item's Price? =====

NOTE: If the system had no price for a book when the data was first imported into Evergreen, a PINES-manadated default price of $25 was added.

  - Start from either the [Items Out] section of a patron's record or from the Copy Status screen. 
    * From a patron's record, click the [Items Out] button.
    * Otherwise, use {Circulation} {Show Copy Status by Barcode} and scan in the item barcode.
  - Click on the column picker (in upper right corner). 
  - Scroll down and click on **Price**.
  - The **Price** column will now be displayed so you can see the item's cost.





===== How Do I Renew an Expired Card? =====
When a patron's card has expired, the patron's name (on the patron record) will have a dark gray background and an (Expired) indicator under the name. The card must be renewed before the patron can check any items out.

  - Open the patron's record 
    * If you have the patron's library card number, use {Search} {for Patron by barcode} and scan in the patron's barcode. 
    * Otherwise, use {Search} {for Patrons} to find the patron record and [Retrieve Patron]. 
  - Click on [Edit].
  - Select "4. Groups and Permissions." 
  - Change the **Account Expiration Date** field to a date 2 years in the future. Be sure to use the correct YYYY-MM-DD format. For example, if today is Sept. 25, 2006, change the Account Expiration Date to 200**8**-09-25.
  - Select "7. Finish" and [Save User]. 

=====Can I Register My Staff Client To Different Working Locations?=====
Yes - though this is generally not necessary for most users, sometimes an administrator may need to log onto Evergreen Workstations registered to different locations in order to perform certain operations.  See [[Registering Staff Client To Different Working Locations]].
