Two isolated experiences led to an "aha" moment of understanding. First, I was reading a section in my Bishop textbook about scanning books for "in library" use; that's why carts are placed to gather the "do not reshelve" books. Then, I spent a half hour scanning barcodes on books that had been pulled for teachers to use with classes they brought into the library. Diane calls it "Y - return" based on the keys used in Alex to bring up the screen. When I scanned all of these with the barcode reader, the fact that they were used in the library itself was recorded for circulation statistics. I never knew about this and it was fortunate that I could read about and conduct the practice on the same day.
