Owned by Emma Boettcher
Agenda
- Item look-up
- Claim returned search & resolution
- In transit
Notes
Item lookup
- Not used very often except for testing
- Might use if the item doesn't have a barcode or the barcode doesn't match the record
- For requests, would usually start elsewhere and then make a request, rather than starting at the requests app
Claim returned
- Include missing items? Maybe, but missing items are a much higher volume and claims items are more diligently searched. Would be nice to track searches in the same way but not necessarily on the same screen
- Be able to narrow down by owning library or location (as in fines/fees)
- Searches need to be associated with sending out notices
- bulk options: recording search is nice in theory, but may be more important to force the user to take action once something has reached the final search
- Call number: needs to have enumeration, prefix, etc.
- Either separate it out across multiple columns (cleaner) or combine in one column
- Location: effective location
- Okay to have patron's barcode
In transit
- The many-to-many relationship between service points & locations means that the destination service point is not the same as, or automatically assumed from, the location of the item
Next meeting and action items
- Deb and Mark will send screenshots of item lookup
- Emma will come up with more specific scenarios for in transit
