Add the option to add a call number column to the Scan in Items page
I would like to be able to add a Call Number column to Scan in Items page. Currently, several steps are involved in checking and getting items "out of" acquisitions/processing, ready for shelving-- In order to double check a call number I need to first scan in each item in resource management while I am in the "acquisitions" location, then change my location to Circulation desk to access the Scan in items . If a call number column was added to Scan in Items, this would simplify “double checking” the call number for each item, and circulation staff could double check items as well. This could be particularly helpful as sometimes, particularly when multiple call numbers are in a bibliographic record, the “wrong” call number is pulled and the call number in the holdings and on the item don’t match. This can obviously be problematic as, if not caught, non-matching call numbers can basically lead to items being “lost” on the shelves.

I would like to add that this would be helpful for not only the scan in items page but also for the Loan and Return items pages. I know if you hover over the title it will display the call number but actually having it on the screen would be a big help.

Thanks for the idea, though it does seem to duplicate another idea: 'Add the option to add a call number column to the Scan in Items page'.

I would like to see the call number when scanning an item in Fulfillment or when taking off work orders.
