Hi both
Ditto the problem here. We have Talis and are looking at epayment using the University's online payment system which would then interface with Talis. Not a cheap solution though/. Also looking to implement epurse on the university Smartcard as well.

Alan,

We have a ten pound limit.  Although this prevents students renewing 
items and could lead to them facing the 15 pound maximum fine per 
transaction, it can help prevent some students building up some truly 
huge fines.  If we didn't have the block then, with a short loan item 
for example, they could quickly build up a 15 pound fine, renew it and 
then quickly build up another 15 pounds.

Now that we are 24/7 we will be investigating taking fines either via 
our self-service machines or the OPAC and hopefully that will allow 
students to clear their accounts.

Cheers,

Andy
