Re: offline millennium for bookmobiles

["LLC Sheryl VanderWagen" <sheryl at llcoop dot org>]

We have a bookmobile in our system and they do use the offline 
circulation.   We created terminal or statistical group numbers for each 
stop and then when they bring up their offline circulation session, they 
change the number at each stop.  Transactions are then uploaded and 
processed.  One quirky thing about those stat groups or terminal numbers is 
that they work fine for circ statistics and reports.  However, the system 
does not put those numbers into the INLOC and OUTLOC fields of the item 
records, instead it is the stat group or terminal number of the session 
processing the uploaded transactions so there is never a way to go back and 
see at what stop a specific item was checked in or out.  It may not matter 
to you but in our situation it does sometimes but we are learning to deal 
with it.
