[ISLMA-Share] Fines in Destiny

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We run into the same problem at our school, and there's a fix for this I'd
love to know too! We've just gotten in the habit of when we check the item
in and that message pops up, we immediately go to the student's account,
click on "Fines" on the left side of the screen, "Add Fine," select the
reason from the drop down menu, put the barcode in for the item, and the
amount you want to charge. It's a bit tedious, but it gets the job done.
