Tips for Using Customized Routing Slips

The Customized Routing Slips system is set up in 3 sections:

• Step 1 - Origin
• Step 2 - Destination
• Step 3 - Print Routing Slips

• The Step 1 Origin page asks you to set up your return address information, and corresponds to the middle section of a standard routing slip.
• The Home Route section of the Step 1 Origin page let’s any library in the Western Region or any other Region select their own delivery route; remember that this is your return address and not a way to select an S slip for a library in the Southeast Region, for example.
• If you are printing a master sheet of slips don’t date them --- including the date is optional in the Origin section, and a date is not essential at all to good delivery service.

• Step 2 Destination guides you to select the library that you want your routing slip to go to. If you type in Springfield, a city with many libraries on delivery, you will be prompted by a drop down menu to select the exact library that you seek. You need to highlight this selection by clicking on it, even if only one library drops down, in order to move on in the process. Notice that this system allows you to get accurate routing slips for branches of libraries, and for libraries that receive delivery VIA another library.
•If you want multiple copies, type into the ADD box the number of slips that you want---a full page of 3 makes an efficient master sheet, but you can ask for as many as 99, which will be printed 3 to a page. Then click on ADD---your slip request isn’t registered until you do this. Notice that the total number of routing slips and the total number of destinations you have requested are tracked and indicated below ADD. Press Done to complete the process and roll over to the Step 3 Print Routing Slips page.
Step 3 Print Routing Slips

Step 3 Print Routing Slips: includes instructions on the right side of the page. You can click directly on the DeliverySlips.pdf link to view the slips and print immediately, or you can right click it and select “Save Link as” if you want to save masters of often-used slips for future printing.
•Using Start Over will take you back to the first page of the Customized Routing Slips system. Use the Step 1 Origin and Step 2 Destination live links at the top of each page to move around in the system without going back to the beginning.
