procedures to be moved internally
what users with lost can access - reserves y, local - maybe, ne no, ILL, no,
can we change names and wording of blocks
Add note - user viewable and popup, lost item balance transferred to finance title barcode
widget to send items nearing lost
widget for missing title list
Auto blocks // can the user PLACE requests when blocked?
How the process works:
Each day all user groups are searched for lost books, at home or in a linked library. When one is found, their job category at their home institution will be changed to Linked User - No Novanet Privileges. This will prevent the user from borrowing at their home library or at any linked libraries. The job category can be updated manually at either the home library or linked libraries if you make an exception to override.
Each day all user groups with Job Category = Linked User - No Novanet Privileges is checked for lost books. If the user has no lost books from any Novanet library, the job category at the home institution is restored to the original. That change will appear at the linked libraries when the user is searched at the home library and refreshed.
