With independant branches, staff members from Branch A can check out an 
item to a patron from Branch B when searching him by borrower card 
number only (not by name) in Check out box or in Search patrons box.
Staff member can see borrower informations, without being able to modify 
them.
If the patron from B has flags or blocking fines, staff member from A 
can not edit information nor make payment, so no check out in this case.


Regards,

Laurence
