Can anyone tell me what fields indicate an item is checked out? I know about the date in 952$q, but where else is the information? Thank you, Margo Margo Duncan, MLS Systems Librarian Robert R. Muntz Library The University of Texas at Tyler 903.566.7174 | mduncan@uttyler.edu

The canonical information is held in the issues table. On the item itself, the date is only field. All the other information is in the issues table. Chris
Can that information been seen through Z39.50? Margo Chris Cormack <chris@bigballofwax.co.nz> wrote: On 6 March 2012 10:07, Margo Duncan <MDuncan@uttyler.edu> wrote:

No, mostly for privacy reasons, you don't want to allow people to see who has items out. So none of the issues table is exposed. But you should be able to see if an item is out or not in Z39.50 by checking the 952. If there is a date, its out, if there isn't its not. Chris
