This sounds promising. Did you do this just for the Short Loans counter
login? Have you found any problems with this set-up? We do allow items
from our 4 sites to move between sites, so we need normal items to be
able to go in and out of transit.

We've just been through this problem with III. What solved it was their
solution of 'Do not assign the staff circulation logins to any locations
served'. And it works!

Subject: In-transit message on short loan items
I wondered if anyone else has come across this problem, and if you have
found any solution to it?
We have set up the WebOPAC to allow users to place holds unless they are
physically in the library, and there are available items on-shelf
(denyiflocalavail). However, we do not want short loan items to be
counted as available items (ie an on-shelf short loan item should not
block a user from placing a hold), so to prevent this we have removed
our short loan location from the list of 'locations served' for the
library.
This works as far as placing holds is concerned, however a consequence
is that each time a short loan item is returned to the library an
'in-transit' message pops up asking if you want to put the item
in-transit. It is annoying for library staff to keep having to say 'no'
to this message- and of course sometimes they hit 'yes' by mistake so we
need to clear up items that have incorrectly gone in-transit each day.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Lucy
