[Koha] transfers to receive- checking in books: more info

[Amy Schuler]

Hello again, I have more info.

Just now, when canceling transfers as described below, I saw that the
fields for "home library" and "holding library" were slightly different.
One says "Cary" and the other says "CARY".  I should mention that only the
books that I checked in that have the lower case "Cary" as home library end
up in the 'transfers to receive' queue.

When I look at these records in the OPAC I don't see differences between
them - they all have thefull name of our institution (Cary Institute
Library) listed as home and current holding library.

I just looked in global sys preferences > libraries and see that there is
only one library, Cary Institute Library, code CARY indicated here.  So I
am not sure where lower case 'Cary' is coming from, or how to merge or get
rid of it without really messing things up.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.  Thanks again!
