CIRC-ILL
Chapter 6. CIRCULATION FUNCTIONS
Declaring Lost Items
When a patron reports an ILL item as “lost,” the item MUST be marked as lost using the Patron Lost Book function in the Circulation module to ensure proper assessment of fines and fees, and registration of the “lost” item against the patron’s account. Additionally, when an ILL item is marked as lost using the Patron Lost Book function, the status for the item (in the ILL Administration module) is automatically set to Lost by the system.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In cases where an ILL item has been checked out to a patron and the patron subsequently reports the item as “lost,” DO NOT use the ILL Administration module to set the status for the item to Lost. This will result in deletion of the brief bibliographic record, the “lost item” WILL NOT be registered against the patron’s account, and fines and fees will not be properly assessed for the item.
