- Review how to retrieve the user record for a patron from another I-Share library who has arrived in person to check out an item.
- Is there a way to get the expired hold shelf to show as a task in Alma?
- Can we add permissions to a specific user role in Alma?
- Can you add a user record for an I-Share patron if they walk-in to check out an item without requesting it first?
- The Process date is printing on our staff-use Hold Slip for our patrons and I-Share instead of the Hold Expired date. Do we have a setting incorrect?
- Is there a certain number of physical items that a library must own/make available in its collection for lending via I-Share to maintain eligibility as an I-Share member library?
- Need to monitor items that goes in to Missing status. Is there a best way to clear these items when you find the item?
