Loaned Items Notice                               

 Image Added Textbook Tracker

Notices (letters or emails) to inform patrons of items they currently have checked out.

Expand
titleMore information
Use(s)

For remote checkouts through Researcher

  • Patrons place items on hold through Researcher.
  • Librarians run the hold reports, gather the items, and check them out to the patron.
  • Items get put into bags for curbside pickup.
  • Librarians run the Loaned Items Notice report, selecting by date range of checkout, and notifying patrons their items are ready for pickup.

Receipt substitute

  • Facility runs the report for patrons who checked out items today and delivers printed letters to each patron.

Textbook Tracker

  • Because textbooks don't often have due dates (return at end of term etc), this report can provide a list of textbooks the students have checked out. The list could be compared to a course schedule, to ensure the student has all the materials they need. 
Purpose
The Damaged Items Notice report generates parent notice slips and/or mailing labels for patrons with damaged item fees. All patrons with items checked in via Discard Mode (Damaged or Custom Reason) with an unpaid discarded charge will be included in this report.

titleMore information

Charges include the end result of overdue fines, lost or damaged fees, and manually-charged amounts. Overdue fines continuously accumulate until items are returned. Once the item is returned, the fine becomes a charge.

Use(s)

Librarians and teachers can run this report to get notices for students in a particular group or class who have overdue items and/or unpaid charges. Consider creating some Saved Reports that automatically send out this report:

  • Set up some Saved Reports that periodically email these notices to staff for them to distribute in person or through mail. There are notice formats for students or parents.
  • Set up a Saved Report that emails students or parents directly when they have overdue items and/or unpaid charges.
Selections

Fine or Charge Balance: Enter the fine/charge range for which you want to send out notices. Note that this selection looks at individual charges rather than a patron's total balance. This means that someone with three 50¢ charges that total $1.50 won't receive a notice since each charge is under the $1.00 (if you set $1.00 as the minimum amount). Also, overdue items with fines not included in the selected amount won't be included in notices.

Options

Image Added

With the Email format, you can choose whether to send the notice to only Primary Emails or all emails on selected patrons' records. This allows you to notify both patrons and parents/guardians if necessary.
