Re: [IUG] Millennium Offline Circ

Sounds like you are heading in the right direction. We usually hold off 
with checking in any items when we go offline for the very reasons you 
mention.

Another thought is to be sure you have the stats groups at each branch 
set set to the number used at that branch so the checkout statistics and 
checkout locations are recorded properly.
