batch check in

[Karen Perone <peroneka@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For those of you who are using batch check-in of long overdue/billed 
items, I have a question. We are about to begin using this feature and 
understand that the billing information stays on the patron's record. No 
problem there if the patron comes in and wants to pay off the charge.

However, in the rare occurence that the item is left in the book drop 
and the item has already been deleted from the system, how do you know 
which patron had it checked out so that the billing charge can be 
changed to the maximum overdue fine? Do you print out a list of patron 
numbers and barcode numbers and store it in a searchable file somewhere?

Or do you even care?
