Hi, All -- We've used the noissuescharge setting in the Circulation preferences to prevent patrons from checking items out when their fines exceed a certain amount. However, since most of our fines are relatively modest, it may take several months to reach the noissuescharge cap if a patron only has 1 or 2 items checked out. There doesn't appear to be a similar setting for blocking patrons when a particular item becomes long overdue. We can go into each patron's account & add a manual restriction, but we generally have several patrons needing this change in status. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the Batch Patron Modification tool can be used to set patrons' debarred status (though we can set a new expiration date for their cards). I believe the Patron Import tool might be an option, but that seems too convoluted. Am I missing something? Many thanks in advance, Cab Vinton, Director Plaistow Public Library Plaistow Public Library
