Lost (The Horizon block, not the TV show)
(This post is for those of you on Horizon system. If you are on Dynix, we don’t think it is an issue.) Believe it or not, some patrons lose the material we check out to them. When they do, a LOST block pops up when they try to check out more stuff. Except for iBorrow items. Those blocks have gone straight to History.
But no longer! With help from several people, we’ve figured out how to put a default price of $25 on all iBorrow items. So, if one of your borrowers gets a book from another system and loses it, the block will say he owes $25. If he borrows a BMW through iBorrow and loses it, the block will also say he owes $25. So, don’t trust it on the dollar amount. The point was to get it to show up as an active block, and that took associating a dollar figure with the item.
We still don’t want patrons to lose iBorrow stuff. But, if they do, we’ll know about it at Check-Out.
