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 select copies by date range, ensuring that only copies lost within a particular date range are removed. |
Use(s)Run this utility to clean out old records if you're approaching your item limit. Check the Remove Titles with No Copies option to also remove remaining title records with no other copies once the lost copies are removed. |
