David Bottorff will be joining us on Mondays
Applying due date and time for a loan
- If interval is in days, weeks, or months, have due time be end of day (23:59:59)
- If interval is hours or minutes, calculate due time from loan time

Metadata Migration concerned about revealing barcode in Inventory
Group agreed it was fine to mask barcode, but keep link out to patron record
Need to make sure that not everyone can get to patron record
Inventory: currently serves RM and MM purposes, but not RA - need to evaluate from RA perspective

Showed mockups
- Both: column to indicate use
- Option 1: display check (or no check) for In House Use
- Option 2: describe type of use
Concern about real estate on check-in page for items that go in transit, ones that fill requests, etc.
check-in screen: where you keep track of your work and catch potential errors
- having a running count of items being checked in would be nice
- way to see modals
- how do recent decisions around status affect this?

Service point mockup
Lag time in minutes - hour/day dropdown might be preferable
Batch job is probably acceptable (but need to know what a batch job would look like to say for sure). Live transition from recently returned → available is more accurate

Difference between item moving between locations at the same library, and an item moving between different libraries
Indicate whether something is an unusual location so the staff member knows not to shelve it in the usual spot
- "unusual" is relative to service point, not an absolute feature of location
