Preventing a borrower taking out more than one item attached to the same WORK_ID is one thing but it gets more complicated where the items may appear to be the same but are actually under different WORK_IDs e.g. paperback/hardback or different editions.</p> <p>What criteria do your counter staff use to decide?</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Brian Crampton<br /> Developer, Talis</p> Thu, 26 Oct 2006 10:57:24 +0100 Brian Crampton comment 391 at http://www.talis.com/tdn http://www.talis.com/tdn/node/1671 <p>Hello<br /> Library staff have been noticing that borrowers are taking out more than 1 copy of a book for friends. If they come to the counter the staff dissuade them from doing this. However as we are pushing self service they can take multiple copies of the same item using the machines. Is there a way of stopping borrowers from taking more than 1 copy of an item?</p> http://www.talis.com/tdn/node/1671#comments Talis Library System Thu, 19 Oct 2006 10:53:16 +0100 gi06 1671 at http://www.talis.com/tdn
