Hi all,
We have a self-guided backpack program for walk-in visitors to explore campus. Each backpack has tools and supplies that need periodic replenishing (i.e. paint supplies, bird seeds, etc). The backpacks are also seasonal, so our desk staff might only check out a bag two months out of the year.
Currently our backpack checkout is in a binder, with details on what materials need to be checked. (Our bags are sold as tickets through Altru, but I don't think that has any sort of check out system.) I have found, though, staff often get in a hurry to check out and rush through the binder, missing a few points to check off. Then, when I go back a month later, part of the bag is missing or empty. Any recommendations on helping the check out process run more efficiently, so staff can complete the transaction quickly without forgetting to mark off items on the list?
Thanks for any advice!
