TEXT PICKUP NOTICE

#

Local notice text #. Pre Rel.2001: If (a) site has email module and (b) patron record email field has email address, then hold pickup notice will be sent via email based on text # listed here. If either (a) or (b) are not fulfilled, no email notice is sent and no notice is added to hold pickup notice print queue. [May want to use bottom half of paging slip to send as a pickup notice.] We recommend sites without email module fill in text # anyway: use an appropriate existing notice or create a new one in preparation for Rel.2001.
Post Rel.2001: Email or print notices can be prepared; use local text # as appropriate (an existing local notice or a new one specific for OB).

38

TEXT CANCEL PICKUP

#

Local notice text #. If the owning-site cancels, or if the patron-site returns the book to the owning library due to patron failure to pickup, a notice with this text is queued.. The specific cancellation reason keyed by the owning library will be appended to this text. If set to "0" no cancellation notices will print.

DEFAULT ITEM COST

$75.00

ALLIANCE. Amount charged if the item is billed. Based on a system-wide policy. Note: Elements 44, 45 and 46 are the amounts that will be charged if the item is billed.

If the patron returns the book after it is billed, then the system invokes the Circulation Option: 35 > Check-in of billed item. Reduce bill to: 1 > BILL FEE, 2 > LESSER: FINE,BILL FEE, 3 > LARGER: FINE,BILL FEE, 4 > CANCEL BILL to determine billed amount.

45

REPLACE PROCESS FEE

$0.00

Replace process fee and Replace bill service charge can be tailored according to each member's billing process and policies. The amount here should recognize the $15 fixed admin fee and any maximum (or capped) overdue fine charged by the institution according to local policy.   Individual libraries decide whether they bill for, or collect, overdue fines – for individual cases, for certain categories of patron, or in certain situation (for example, not adding on top of Replacement fee and admin. charge).   So the total for lines 45 and 46 is either $15 Admin Fee, or $15 Admin Fee + any maximum overdue charge.
