How to loan out or check in an item

Delicious Library 2 is one of the best ways of keeping track of who’s borrowed what and for how long they’ve had it. No more wondering who you lent that “Soldier” DVD to!

To loan out an item to a friend:

Find the item you want to loan out and drag it directly from the shelf onto the name of the borrower in the Friends list. The item will remain in your main library, but will appear grayed out.

Click on the item again, then on the Loan tab, and set the return date by clicking on a day on the calendar.

A reminder will automatically be added into your iCal for you. If you don’t want this reminder, open your Delicious Library 2 preferences, and uncheck Sync loans with iCal.

Pray they don’t keep “Soldier” too long.

Note: The default loan period is one week and cannot be changed.

To check an item back in:

Click on the friend who has the item you’d like to check back into your library.

Select the item on their shelf that’s being returned.

Click on the Loan tab.

Click Check In, or simply hit , with the item selected and it will be checked back into your library and removed from your friend’s shelf.

Once checked in, the iCal reminder will be removed.

Yes! You got “Soldier” back! Aren’t you glad you bought Delicious Library 2?
