In Alma, there are two ways to record in-house use: (1) Scan the item barcode on "Scan In Items” page with the Register in-house use checkbox (2) Scan the item barcode on the “Manage Item Returns (i.e. Return items)” page.
In many libraries, the library staffs are used to double check-in the library materials in order to make sure the library materials have been returned properly. When the library staffs double check-in an item via the Manage Item Returns page in Alma, it will give rise to one more 'in-house use' count. This double check-in action would inevitably affect the accuracy of in-house statistics.
My suggestion: As the "Scan in items" page has been already used for recording the in-house use, It’s better to remove the in-house use count on the "Manage Item Returns" page as this page is more suitable for doing the simple check in and double check in.
