Since copies can be lost in different ways, there are three types of lost copies you can remove: - Patron. Removes copies that were lost by patrons. These have associated fines and are likely to be returned later.
- Inventory. Removes copies that were declared lost during inventory or other circumstances not involving a patron. These have no associated fines.
- Both. Removes all lost copies, no matter how they were lost.

Since lost copies are often found and returned, we recommend waiting at least a year to remove them. Use the Copies Lost selection to ensure only those lost a year ago or longer are removed. |
