[ISLMA-Share] Making Overdue Books Lost

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

This is a good feature if you don’t do fines for overdue books.  It’s easier to tell if you need to track down kids or replace missing books during the year.  However, if you do collect fines for overdue books when a “lost” book is returned, it does not figure out how many days it was overdue.  We have to count it out on our calendar and manually add the late fee to the account.
