  1. Make sure you checked out the material to the activity before routing to reshelving. This is important for maintaining accurate statistics.
  2. Enter the attendance for each session by date at the bottom of the class in Aeon (under "Attendance Tracking").

Setting up Aeon

It is possible to customize the Aeon client to suit your needs. As you begin working with Aeon, you will likely wish to set your options to not receive notifications for new users or requests. 

Some Aeon files are located on the T drive. If the T drive is not already mapped, you will need to do so. To see if you have access to the T drive, open File Explorer and look for "Aeon (T:)". Click on the T drive and open it up to confirm that your permissions are correctly set. If you are able to see the folders in the drive (e.g. Print), then you do not need to do anything else. If you cannot see the folders in the drive follow these instructions to map the drive.

Getting help with Aeon

Aeon documentation may be found on the Harvard Library Aeon wiki or the Aeon section of the Atlas Systems website.
