reason will be included in notification to the user
notify user optional is great, would be a hook that could be used by whatever notification process is developed (batch vs. real time, etc.)

Miscellaneous Questions
Tania
Discuss questions that have come up in my work with the developers
miscellaneous questions working with Marc Johnson (developer)
request queue and how it effects fulfillment
checking out items - Jessica has unfulfilled request and checks out item, is that enough to fulfill request - David B says yes, Andrea also says yes
what about multiple requests?
if she is first it fulfills the request
if she is not first, modal alert that warns person is not first person in queue, allow supervisor override based on permissions
separate modal alert if item is available for pickup with need to override
jessica wants to check out an item and none of them are for her, also needs to be able to perform override, message should be
would we want a user to have multiple requests on the same item? David B says no, but Andrea wants to allow multiple requests by staff with permissions for exceptional circumstances, most professors aren't putting in requests anyway
don't let them have multiple requests, and no request if checked out to them, but staff can always override if circumstances warrant (permissions based)
general philosophy should be staff with sufficient permissions can override almost any aspect of circulation/RA transaction blocks
one and only one queue, FIFO in v1, eventually more complexity to assign position queue, but not different queues for different request types.
Delivery
Tania
Delivery how to ask for it
auto-checkout?
Rameka-request goes via ILL, checked out before delivery
ability to support Amazon locker style parking lot
ability to support UPS style tablet to indicate that item was delivered, where, who did it, datetime stamp
Andrea unstaffed locations - automatically checked out, faculty routing (Law)
auto-checkout for v1, when it gets to the place where it's going to leave from
modal window that says confirm (print or not print) or back out (permission level based)
reiterated need for modal not to be cleared by enter key but does need to be cleared by some key so mouse is not needed
