Loans on item record
Preference is for static, occasionally blank fields over fields dependent on item status.
Discussed checkout, available, recently returned, in transit (add check in location, destination), and overdue (add renewals)
- History of things in transit - feature that warrants further discussion
- Operator may also be helpful
- Okay to have previous borrower information in circ history for institutions that preserve that information
- Which statuses can be changed manually? Can recently returned? (No consensus)
Still to discuss: lost and charged (aged to lost)
