A
Okay
awesome
good
morning:
everybody
I
am
here
to
talk
about
going
fine
free,
let's
start
with
the
little
audience.
Participation
raise
your
hand
if
you
work
at
a
library
that
lends
out
items
to
patrons
okay,
now,
keep
your
hand
raised.
Why'd
everyone
drop
their
hand.
Audience
participate,
come
on,
keep
your
hand
raised
lower
your
hand
if
you
charge
fines
for
items
for
your
patrons.
So
if
you
have
fines
lower
your
hand,
oh
good,
so
we
still
have
a
lot
of
fine
free
people
in
the
room.
A
Okay,
so
my
find
free
build
will
be
probably
different
than
how
you
guys
went
fine
free
the
best
thing
about
koha.
Is
it's
very
customizable
and
there's
a
lot
of
things
you
can
do
with
it.
Some
probably
wrong
and
you're
going
to
point
at
me
and
laugh,
but
that's
what
I'm
here
for
is
to
show
you
what
not
to
do.
A
Let's
go
with
these
slides
there
we
go
so
April
4th
2022
is
when
we
went
fine
free
pretty
recent.
We
wanted
to
go
the
first
of
the
month,
but
there
was
a
lot
of
talk
that
that
might
not
work
out
for
us
with
a
lot
of
our
announcements.
April
1st
in
the
US
is
April
Fool's
Day
and
that's
when
you
play
jokes
on
each
other,
so
we
decided
not
to
send
out
a
bunch
of
stuff
that
said,
April
1st
was
fine
free
day,
so
it
was
April
4th.
A
We
sent
out
all
the
Ravens
all
the
messenger
pigeons,
all
the
proper
Birds
you're
supposed
to
send
out
when
you're
doing
announcements
and
we're
now
living
in
the
fine
free,
Glory
Days
of
not
having
fights.
How
did
we
get
there,
though?
It's
a
long
and
arduous
Road.
We
have
to
talk
to
the
city.
We
had
to
talk
to
the
finance
department.
We
had
to
talk
to
a
lot
of
people.
It
was
a
lot
of
work.
I
could
talk
for
hours
about
that,
but
that's
not
why
we're
here.
A
A
I
could
in
the
presentation
here-
and
we
just
you
know
George
would
be
very
angry
at
me
for
only
going
like
a
couple
minutes
and
as
you
notice
in
your
koha
little
book,
that's
not
all
we're
gonna
talk
about
we're.
Gonna
talk
about
some
other
things.
A
On
the
back
end
of
koha,
here's
some
other
things
you
can
change
that
deal
with
fines,
I
didn't
and
you'll
notice,
like
one
of
them.
This
is
from
our
system
and
one
is
charge.
Fines
and
I
still
have
calculate
and
charge
fines
listed,
so
it
doesn't
really
matter
as
long
as
you
have
all
those
goose
eggs
in
the
baskets.
It's
not
going
to
charge
fines,
but
here's
some
more
things
you
can
mess
with.
A
If
you
wanted
your
system
to
be
correct,
one
other
thing
we
wanted
to
do
was
now
that
we're
not
charging
fines.
We
also
want
to
forgive
the
fines
that
are
already
in
the
system,
so
it
came
up
with
a
little
report
to
look
at
the
account
lines
in
our
database.
A
The
very
important
thing
is:
where
amount
outstanding
is
greater
than
zero,
because
you
don't
want
to
list
all
of
the
paid
fines
and
then
once
we
had
that
we
kind
of
had
to
filter
out
some
stuff
for
our
library,
our
max
volume
was
twenty
dollars,
so
anything
below
that
is
probably
a
fine
that
little
less
than
greater
than
is
not
so
we
took
we
charge
a
processing
fee
of
13.50
for
all
the
Lost
items,
so
we
want
to
keep
the
processing
fee
in
anything
that
was
lost,
anything
that
was
billed.
A
We
also
used
to
charge
a
535
billing
fee
and
some
of
this
has
to
deal
with
migration.
We
just
migrated
to
koha
in
2019,
so
it
still
has
a
lot
of
pre-coha
fines
in
there
anything
that
says
less
material
fees.
Anything
that
looks
like
it
has
replacement
in
the
notes
or
lost.
That
n
stands
for
new
cards.
A
We
used
to
charge
a
dollar
for
a
new
card,
and
so
we
kind
of
kept
that
in
there
anything
that
was
charging
for
book
sale
we
also
kept
in
then
once
you
have
all
that
information,
you
need
to
find
a
way
to
get
rid
of
the
fines.
I,
don't
know
how
to
do
that
so
I
sent
by
water
that
report
and
they
did
a
thing
and
now
we
don't
have
fines
in
it.
You're
a
system
administrator.
You
might
know
how
to
actually
do
that
yourself.
A
Then
you
have
to
update
everything
in
koha.
That
mentions
fines
at
least
that's
what
I
had
to
do
so
I
had
to
update
our
notices,
the
Quahog
catalog
any
of
our
receipts,
and
then
a
bunch
of
other
people
at
our
library
had
to
update
a
bunch
of
other
things,
and
we
just
found
something.
A
month
ago
that
mentioned
finds,
and
although
we
should
have
changed
it,
we
just
decided
to
look
the
other
way
and
said
we're
done
with
this.
This
there's
way
too
much
things
to
reprint.
A
So
how
are
we
holding
patrons
accountable,
we're
using
the
overdue
notice
and
Status
triggers?
There
is
a
restrict
column
right
there
and
if
you
have
that
checked
what
it
does
is
once
it
sends
the
notice
it
adds
a
restriction
to
that
patrons
account
and
they
cannot,
depending
on
your
preferences,
set
up.
They
can't
check
out
items
and
they
can't
put
holds
on
items
and
that's
what
we're
doing.
We
have
it
set
to
seven
days
for
a
first
notice.
It's
very
customizable
you
can
use.
A
A
We
have
a
three-day
grace
period
on
all
our
overdue
items,
and
that
was
mostly
due
to
a
while
ago,
where
koha
had
did
not
have
digest
notices
for
advanced
do
items,
and
so
we
did
a
workaround
and
we
gave
everyone
a
three-day
grace
period,
and
then
we
also
don't
have
automatic
check-in,
and
so
we
wanted
to
give
staff
a
couple
of
extra
days
before
we
started
restricting
patrons
and
we,
since
it
was
a
new
system,
we
just
wanted
to
give
them
a
couple
more
days,
just
in
case
they
get
used
to
it.
A
So
we
landed
on
seven
days
once
an
item
is
seven
days
overdue.
It
blocks
your
account,
you
can't
do
anything
with
the
library
and
to
make
sure
that
works
through.
You
also
have
to
talk
to
people
that
Library
Services.
You
use
to
make
sure
that
that
restriction
will
block
them.
Previously
we
had
restricted
patrons
at
25,
and
we
now
that
we're
doing
this
new
restriction.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
it
was
going
to
block
those
services
for
patrons.
A
So
the
one
thing
I
was
excited
about
about
doing
this
presentation
is,
it
gave
me
excuse
to
sit
down
and
go
through
our
stats
and
try
to
find
stats
that
prove
that
going
fine
free
is
helping
our
library
as
you're,
going
to
see
those
graphs.
Don't
really
work
out
for
me
and
I'll
show
you
why.
So
these
all
seemed
reasonable
things
for
me
to
try
to
find
out
ways
that
are
making
the
library
better.
The
first
one
is
number
of
items
marked
less
lost
by
month.
A
I
have
these
giant
spikes
that
help
out
nobody.
Most
of
them
are
migrations.
When
we
migrate,
we
just
Mark
a
bunch
of
things
lost
and
then
between
April,
the
14th
and
16th
or
the
2014
through
2016
we
didn't
actually
Mark
items
lost.
We
just
left
them
on
the
patrons
account
and
put
like
and
then
charged
them,
and
when
that
big
spike
is
we
decided?
A
Oh,
maybe
we
should
Mark
things
lost,
we're
going
to
try
to
remove
them
from
the
system
eventually,
so
we
actually
set
like
a
lost
like
I,
think
it
was
90
days
lost
and
then
19
hit,
and
so
we
stopped
marking
things
lost
and
then
on
April
2022
we
were
like.
Maybe
we
should
Mark
things
lost
again,
and
so
that's
why
that
huge
spike?
Is
there
and
then
way
at
the
end?
Is
now
us
marking
things
lost
on
a
regular
basis,
so
maybe
later
I'll
have
good
stats.
Using
this.
A
This
is
kind
of
looking
at
the
same
thing:
number
of
lost
charges
on
patrons
accounts,
migration,
covid-19,
not
really
good
information
there
and
then
now
we're
actually
have
regular
data,
oops,
just
Skip
One.
Now
all
right
number
of
checkouts,
maybe
the
number
of
checkouts
due
to
our
change,
is
going
to
increase.
Well,
not
really,
if
I
kind
of
kept
like
used
just
a
few
months,
I
can
be
like.
A
Yes,
it
is
going
up,
but
looking
at
Broad
data,
not
really
we
had
better
circulation
numbers
before
covid,
which
is
that
huge
drop
and
then
even
last
summer
we
had
better
numbers.
There's
other
factors
going
into
this:
just
we
did
not
just
get
rid
of
fines.
We
also
made
a
few
other
changes
to
kind
of
as
kind
of
bargaining
with
the
city
to
go
with
and
to
hold
patrons
accountable,
first-time
patrons
can
only
check
out
five
items.
Now
that's
their
Max.
It
used
to
not.
A
We
used
to
not
have
a
limit,
so
if
it
was
your
first
time
in
the
library
from
another
city,
you
can
check
out
200
items
and
not
come
back
to
us
and
we
decided.
Maybe
this
is
time
to
change
that
and
so
summer
being
a
time
of
new
patrons
coming
in,
but
now
we're
restricting
them
from
checking
out
what
they
wanted,
and
so
that
that
could
also
lead
to
this.
We
also
oops.
A
Okay,
so
this
graph
I
finally
actually
got
something
number
of
items
returned
more
than
30
days
overdue,
I'm
looking
at
the
koha
check-in
date
and
although
I
still
have
spikes,
if
you
notice
at
the
far
end
it
does
look
like
more
items,
are
being
returned
that
were
long
overdue.
Now
we're
considering
30
days.
So
that's
good
news
and
then
this
last
graph
I
made
because
I
kind
of
wanted
definite
proof
that
removing
fines
is
helping.
So,
as
you
can
see,
this
is
on
the
left.
Side
is
no
with
overdue.
A
Fines
on
the
right
side
is
fine.
Free
and
those
lines
represent
happiness
and
they're.
Going
up.
Look
guys,
they're
going
up
patrons
are
happy.
Staff
are
happy
everyone's
happier
now.
So
here's
a
good
graph
that
you
want
to
show
people
I
was
talking
to
someone
and
I
wished
I
thought
about
this
beforehand,
but
I
wish
I
had
some
something
on
the
slide
to
represent
things
that
were
thrown
at
staff
before
fines
or
when
we
had
fines
or
quotes
from
staff
about
how
mad
patrons
get.
A
If
you
notice
papers
are
still
not
as
happy
as
staff,
but
just
patrons,
you
can
never
make
them
happy
so
problems
we've
run
into
I'm
going
to
go
over
a
few
things.
Some
of
them
are
ho-ha
related.
Some
of
them
are
what
are
on
me
because
kohad
did
not
do
what
I
wanted
it
to
do,
or
what
I
thought
it
did,
and
so
maybe
that'll
help
you
because
you'll
think
the
same
thing.
The
overdue
notices
that
send
out
and
restrict
have
different
timings
than
this
lost
marketing.
A
Things
lost
it's
a
well-known
bug
out
there
I
listed
the
bug
down
there.
Long
overdue
Cron
job
does
not
follow
the
library's
calendar
and
skips
closed
days,
and
you
can
have
the
overdue
notice.
A
The
thing
that
restricts
use
that
Library
calendar
and
then
trying
to
line
them
up
seems
very
hard
and
so
to
kind
of
remember
either
that
we
just
Mark
things
10
days
later
than
what
we
actually
say,
we're
going
to
Mark
things,
I
think
on
paper,
it's
30
days,
but
because
notices
and
holidays
and
Sundays
we
just
don't
want
to
Mark
something
lost
before
they
get
a
notice.
That
says:
hey
we're,
marking
this
lost.
It
would
be
great
if
they
could
line
up.
A
Bywater
has
a
cool
blog
post
about
using
the
email
or
Plugin,
so
you
can,
when
you
Market
loss
that
seem
like
to
just
added
a
couple
days
to
the
long.
The
process
removal
is
not
so
about
using
that
restriction.
Is
it's
great
on
the
overdue
trigger?
There
is
a
system
that,
when
the
island
it'll,
we
can
pick
off
the
restrictions,
also
OHA
properties,
a
refund
lost
item
refund
the
Lost
item.
A
So
if
they've
been
after
30
days
and
they
return
that
I
that
okay,
so
the
item
gets
refined
and
their
account
can
be
used,
remove
that
processing
fee
that
our
library
is
forced,
it
would
be,
was
automatic
bug
down.
There
is
really
the
mark
processes.
Fault
refund.
When
item
is
found,
I
understand
that
that
would
lead
to
problems
say
we
don't
want
to
refund
the
product
if
it
was
paid
for
and
we're
telling
koha
to
it's
like
the
workflow
problem,
but
to
fix
the
have
a
report
that
looks
at
all
lines
and
sees.
A
Okay,
so
this
one's
on
me
I,
didn't
realize
when
kohut
told
me
all
overdue's,
it
meant
all
over
dues.
A
So,
like
I
said,
we
restrict
something
that
seven
days
overdue
and
the
assistant
preference
says
allow
overdue
restrictions
triggered
by
sent
notices
to
be
cleared
automatically
when
all
overdue
items
are
returned
by
a
patron,
and
that
means
all
overdues,
not
the
ones
that
trigger
the
restriction.
And
so
we
wanted
a
three-day
grace
period.
A
So,
if
someone's
in
that
three-day
grace
period
and
still
has
that
item
kept
out,
it's
considered
overdue
by
koha
and
if
they
return
that
really
really
late
item,
it
doesn't
remove
the
Restriction
automatically
because
they
still
have
that
three
day
overdue
item
and
the
bug
there
is
allow
patrons
to
have
overdue
items.
That
would
not
result
in
debarment
when
removing
overdue
departments
and
that's
kind
of
what
we
want
to
see.
What
I
would
like
to
see
so
I
don't
have
to
remove
that
restriction
and
then
another
thing
return
means
returned
should
have
known
this.
A
So
when
I
want
to
Mark
a
lost
item
as
return
by
this
is
I
want
the
item
to
fall
off
the
patrons
check-in
when
that
lost,
when
it
is
marked
lost,
that's
just
how
our
workflow
was
in
the
past,
and
it
makes
it
easier
for
our
collection
manager
to
remove
items
that
have
been
lost
a
long
long
time,
because
we
want
those
out
of
the
system
back
in
that
old
graph,
you
saw
we
used
to
not
Mark
things
lost,
and
so
we
had
like
three
years
of
lost
items
just
floating
in
our
system,
that
staff
would
have
to
kind
of
just
filter
through
when
looking
for
items.
A
So
we
want
to
Mark
those
out
of
the
system
and
if
it's
checked
out
to
someone
KOA
won't
let
you
do
it
through
that
the
batch
modifications,
so
we
want
it
off
the
person's
account
and
so
I
found
this
cool,
persistent
preference
that
I
can
Market
as
return
and
clear
it
off
this
person's
account
at
once.
We
Market
lost,
so
we
don't
have
to
go
in
and
Market
lost
by
ourselves.
A
The
problem
is,
that
is
when
it
returns
it
off
their
check-in
and
charges
the
account
it
returns
it
and
that
allow
overdue
restrictions
triggered
by
notice
is
too
clear
automatically
when
items
are
returned
also
counts
out
as
a
return.
So
after
the
40
days
it
marks
the
Lost
returns.
It
removes
the
Restriction
of
the
overdue
notices,
because
all
the
items
are
returned.
A
No,
that
was
happening.
Oh
so,
there's
a
bug
for
it
ability
to
remove
lost
items
from
Pages
accounts
without
checking
it
in
it's
kind
of
what
we
would
like
to
do.
Our
workaround
of
this
is,
we
just
went
back
since
it
charges
them.
We
are
now
using
the
do
not
allow
patrons
access
if
they
have
a
certain
fine
amount.
So
that's
how
we
worked
around
it,
but
I
go
back
staff
like
that
huge
restriction.
We
use
CSS
to
make
it
bigger,
so
they
don't
have
to
figure
out.
A
You
know
they
don't
have
to
try
to
look
for
the
fine
amount.
Somehow
that
is
harder
to
see
than
that
huge
restriction,
so
they
like
that
there
instead
of
that
little
fine.
So
that
would
be
nice
if
we
could
keep
that
restriction
there
and
then
going
back
to
my
graph
of
how
I
proved
that
more
items
were
coming
back.
Well,
they
weren't,
because
return
means
returned
and
I
was
using
that
return
date,
so
technically
I
re-ran
that
report
taking
out
the
41
days.
A
So
that
would
be
things
that
this
koha
marked
lost
and
it's
now
kind
of
following
the
normal
data.
So
that's
really
something
like
I
don't
have.
We
don't
have
proof
that
libraries
that
removing
fines
is
making
our
books
come
back.
It
kind
of
just
doesn't
change
things
and
that's
also
a
good
thing
like
it's
not
like
removing
fines.
A
All
your
books
are
going
to
go
away,
but
right
now
we
just
don't
have
data
that
shows
it's
making
it
better
about
books
coming
back
all
right,
I'm
done
talking
any
questions,
or
is
anyone
else
going
fine
free
and
they
want
to
share
what
they're
doing
or
what
I'm
doing
wrong.
I
am
here
as
well.
Michael.
B
I
have
a
question
for
you,
a
couple
of
them.
Actually,
yes,
first
one,
you
talked
about
triggering
restrictions.
We
tried
that.
C
B
We
had
a
lot
of
complaints
from
patrons.
We
had.
We
had
trouble
with
that
and
we
ended
up.
Turning
that
off.
Have
you
had
a
lot
of
complaints
or
any
complaints
from
patrons
when
you
triggered
restrictions
for
those
on
those
notices,
we've.
A
Had
some
and
it's
it's
mostly
patrons
that
have
a
lot
of
items
out
and
only
if
maybe
one
item
is
being
blocked
because
of
a
hold
now
really
they're
angry,
because
they
expect
nothing
to
change
like
they're.
They
just
want
their.
They
just
want
to
come
in
and
check
out,
they're
like.
Why
is
it
being
blocked?
It's
like!
A
A
Because
they're
following
the
rules,
it's
more
a
patron
expects
to
just
be
able
to
check
out
and
then
pay
the
fine
they're
used
to
the
old
way
of
just
having
to
pay
a
fine
or
talking
their
way
out
of
a
fine
when
it
comes
up,
and
so
we
we
haven't
run
into
a
scenario
that
has
caused
us
to
rethink
that
and
I
think
it
is
just
the
buffer
we're
giving
everyone
is
that
seven
days
instead
of
it
being
you
know
the
three
days,
I
think
it's
enough
that
we
can
say.
A
B
The
second
one
going
back
to
you
had
a
slide
that
said
item
or
returned
items,
are
equal,
returned,
yeah
or
returned
means
returned
yes,
okay,
so
this
one
we've
had
particular
problems
with,
especially
because
we
have
some
libraries
that
go
to
collections,
and
so
we've
had
a
a
difficult
time
with
a
a
balancing
act
with
that,
because
you
know
in
some
respects.
Yes,
we
we
want
items
that
are
checked
in
to
have
those
fines
removed.
B
But
if
they've
gone
to
collections
we
have
we
have
no
way
of
blocking
that,
and
so
we've
run
into
issues
where
items
are
returned
and
we
have
no
way
of
knowing
before
checking
it
in.
Oh,
this
has
gone
to
collections.
We
shouldn't
check
it
in
kind
of
thing,
so
it
removes
the
fines.
B
We've
also
run
into
the
issue
with
this
particular
setting.
In
that
you
know,
we
want
people
to
be
able
to.
B
We
want
staff
to
be
able
to
delete
items
that
have
been
lost
for
a
long
time,
but
finding
the
balance
of
where
to
do
that,
because
we've
had
also
items
checked
in
we've,
had
items
checked
in
they've
been
removed
and
there's
this
mysterious
fine
on
the
the
account
if
we
turn
certain
settings
on
or
off
and
then
on
the
flip
side
of
that
we've
had
people
turn
things
in
and
the
charges
have
been
removed
and
there's
no
accounting
of
of
that
item
ever
being
lost
at
that
point.
B
A
So
thankfully
we
don't
use
collections,
it's
just
all
the
library
us
ourselves,
so
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
that.
The
other
thing!
Yes,
you
were
talking
about
that.
We
don't
Mark
things
out
of
the
system
six
months
until
they've
marked
last
six
months,
and
since
we
did
that
in
April
we
have
it
run
into
that,
because
that
would
be
this.
C
A
Know
next
month,
so
yes,
we'll
probably
run
into
that
problem
soon
of
people
returning
items
that
were
marked
removed.
A
That
has
happened
even
when
we
didn't
do
this
of
removing
items
it
usually
ends
up
to
me
like
this
book
is
in
the
system
and
then
I
have
to
look
through
all
our
fines
and
see
if
that
book
is
mentioned
in
any
of
the
finds
and
then
wave
it
if
it
is
a
a
loss,
fine
or
yeah
a
lost
or
damage.
So
yes,
that
has
happened,
and
it
does
leave
more
work
for
me
as,
like
the
library
system,
admin,
a
lot
of
the
stuff.
A
Automating
just
causes
more
work
for
me,
which
isn't
great
but
like
removing
processing
fees.
That's
now
my
job
to
do
at
the
end.
You
know
at
the
beginning
or
end
of
the
month
is
to
go
through
and
run
that
report
and
see
what
processing
fee
is
and
remove
it.
It
does
save
time
overall,
but
it
does
fall
back
on
the
co-op
system
administrator
to
do
a
lot
of
that
that
upkeep
and
work
it
seems
yeah.
A
Yes
and
the
Personnel
library
that
does
all
our
announcements.
That
was
one
paragraph.
The
announcement
was
for
patrons
to
like
there's
a
difference
between
fines
and
lost
items.
I
forget
what
she
called
it,
but
yeah.
So
that
was
one
of
the
points
of
almost
every
fine
free
announcement
was
we're
still
charging
for
lost
and
damaged
items
that
is
different
than
fines.
Yeah.
C
Hey
Michael,
hey
so
I
have
a
question:
okay
about
your
first
time,
check
out
limitation
because
for
us
we
have
that
as
well.
We
have
threats,
but
it's
really
a
big
lie
because
they
could
actually
check
out
more.
C
A
So
what
we
do
is
we
made
a
new
Patron
category
that
was
like
whatever
the
old,
whatever
the
category
we
wanted.
It
was
so
adult
or
child,
and
then
we
just
put
new
in
front
of
it
adult
new
and
we
set
the
checkout
limit
to
five
and
then
I
talked
to
the
Wizards
by
water
and
said
hey
when
the
next
day,
I
want
to
Crown
the
realm
run,
to
set
the
new
category
to
what
it's
supposed
to
be
so
from
adult
new.
A
A
In
and
the
next
day
they
could
come
in
yeah,
but
when
we
were
looking
at
data,
it
really
was
just
users
coming
in
first
time
getting
looking
at
their
creation
date.
That
was
the
checkout
date
of
all
the
Lost
items
and
they
just
didn't
come
back.
I
forget
how
many,
but
it
was
a
big
portion
of
our
lost
items,
were
just
first-time
users
that
didn't
come
back,
and
so
we
decided
so
if
they
do
come
back
the
second
day
and
check
out
200
at
least
they
came
back.
A
There
is
a
notorious
Patron
in
our
system
that
came
in
from
a
city
near
Dallas,
which
is
about
an
hour
away
from
us
and
checked
out
like
200
items
and
never
returned
it.
So
it
was
one
of
those
decisions.
Well,
I,
guess
if
they
want
to
drive
an
hour
back
to
do
it
well.
C
A
They
might
do
that,
but
we're
neighbors
yeah,
but
at
least
they
may
you
know
they
came
back
and
then
it
was
the
the
idea
that
you
know,
even
if
we
we
would
have
to
set
it
to
a
really
long
limit
or
a
really
long
time
for
that
limit
to
stop
that
from
happening.
So
it
would
have-
and
they
still
probably
would
have
done
it.
So,
the
one
thing
with
our
our
library
set
up
is
we
don't
have
a
limit
on
most
items
and
so
that
you
can
check
out
as
many
books
as
you
want.
A
We
only
limit,
we
have
on
DVDs
is
10,
and
so
we
run
into
the
thing
of
people
driving
and
checking
out
like
200
items
and
not
returning
them,
and
so
that's
really
what
we
try
and-
and
we've
only
been
on
it
for
like
I,
said
six
months
so
we'll
see.
I
I
didn't
pull
data
for
that
yet,
but
we'll
see,
if
that
actually
is
helping.
Okay.
C
I
have
one
more
question:
yeah
did
you
say
you
have
automatic
renew
we
do
okay,
so
one
of
the
things
that
frustrates
me
with
that
is
they
have
an
overdue
item
and
I
send
out
a
notice
and
then
all
the
other
items
that
they
have
checked
out
that
aren't
due
yet
will
also
renew.
A
Yes,
we
we,
yes,
we
just
let
it
renew,
and
so
they
could
just
bring
back
that
one
item
and
I
think
that's
why
if
they
there
was
a
hold
on
an
item,
we
don't
necessarily
want
everything
to
come
back
from
them.
We
just
want
that
one
one
item
to
come
back
and
I
think
it
would
really
I
do
see
some
problems
in
the
system
where
something
becomes
lost
and
they
were
checking
out
new
things
or
they
were
checking
out
things
well.
I
think
it
was
previously.
A
So
we've
stopped
it
a
lot
with
the
seven
days
and
we're
probably
too
lenient
on
people
just
telling
us
that
an
item
was
to
return
and
taking
their
their
word
for
it.
So
I
do
see.
Yes,
people
can
come
in
and
then
sit
and
have
more
items
than
they
should
because
of
just
that
one
item
and
not
just
blocking
it
all,
but
we
we're
going
to
live
with
it,
we're
going
to
let
them
check
out.
Unfortunately,.
E
There
are
several
comments.
This
is
quite
a
thread
on
YouTube
A
lot
of
people
are
discussing
the
mechanisms
of
fine
free
and
the
advantages
and
disadvantages.
Several
people
seem
to
have
questions
about
what
Christopher
said.
He
said.
Christopher
said
that
there
are
no
collections
in
koha
and
I.
Think
I've
clarified
that
for
everybody
in
YouTube,
because
I
think
what
you
really
meant
to
say
was
there
is
no
built-in
automatic
mechanism
in
koha
for
collection
agencies
and
I.
E
Think
that's
what
you
meant,
because
I
think
that
confused
a
lot
of
people
and
then
somebody
asked
a
question
about
Auto
renew
and
you
just
answered
that
so
perfect.
A
Yeah
and
so
I
guess
questions
see
Christopher
do
you
have
a
bug
that
would
some
about
the
fine
that
would
just
you
would
want
to
Mark
a
fine
as
a
collection
and
not
have
it
be
removed
by
I.
B
Can't
remember
if
I
filed
a
bug,
I
know
I've
been
talking
with
our
vendor
about
that
buy
water
about
that.
So
we
have
this
active
conversation,
but
I
can't
remember
if
I
have
a
bug
specifically
yet
because
this
one
was
this
one
is
kind
of
I,
don't
know
a
little
nebulous.
That's
trying
trying
to
pin
down
exactly
what
we
need
because
I
mean
you
know,
there's
no
easy
way
for
me
to
describe
the
situation
that
we're
that
we're
that
we're
dealing
with
to
and
finding
that
balance
between.
B
You
know
who
can
do
you
know
when
when
those
fees
get
removed
and
then
we
had
the
added
a
complication
of
the
collection
agencies
and
when
those
things
can
be
removed,
and
so
it's
I
I
kind
of
compromised
at
the
moment,
I'm
kind
of
settling
right
now
with
how
where,
when
you
check
those
items
in
when
you
click
on
the
barcode
and
and
change
the
the
loss
status
of
it,
so
that
we
can
delete
those
things,
that's
where
we
can,
we
can
remove
it
and
it
doesn't
remove
the
fee.
B
So
we
we've
we've
kind
of
settled
in
that
area,
but
I'm
not
happy
with
it,
because
there's
still
the
possibility
of
a
staff
member
clicking
on
that
barcode
and
changing
the
changing
it
or
they're
just
checking
the
item
in
somewhere
and
that
b
disappears.
So
you
know,
there's
it's
still.
It's
still
a
conversation
that
we're
having
and
trying
to
Wrangle
in
okay.
What
exactly
needs
to
happen
and
how
do
we
want
to
phrase
this
in
a
bug
so.
