We currently have two different ways to add messages to a patron's record: You can add an "OPAC note" or "Circulation note" when editing the patron record, or you can add a "Message" from the checkout screen. Is there any reason to continue to offer these two options? I propose that we eliminate the notes which are stored in the borrowers table and migrate them to the messages table. Since the messages table includes the library where the message was set, we could add the patron's home library as the message's originating library. Are there reasons why libraries are choosing to set messages via the patron edit interface rather than the circulation interface? -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
