Delete Borrower with “Override” present for Borrower

Posted on by

Hi, In regards to removing borrowers. I’ve been deleting old staff members that have left the school by returning their old loans from many years before and disposing, then deleting those borrowers. I have one staff member left that I can’t delete because they have items on loan BUT I can’t find out exactly what those items are (so I can return and dispose) as OASIS keeps coming up with “OVERRIDE” where the barcode would be. I loaned another item to this user to see what would happen, “OVERRIDE” was in top line and the newly borrowed book was in the next line. I have no idea what to do to get rid of this override and I would really appreciate any help I can get with this. These are some of the responses to your query:

  • On a high security level go into B2, A1 & loans for the teacher to bring up borrowed items list.  In B2, E1 with the “OVERRIDE” try typing in the command “override” as it sounds like the teacher borrowed a reference book.  If this doesn’t work it might be due to “OVERRIDE” being accidentally added as the barcode for this item years ago — you would need to contact DET IT Help about fixing it.
  • Go to returns and type in override exactly as it appears on the screen. Also, any other unusual things like that, just type in exactly what the message comes up.
 
  • You might like to try B2 A1 and go to surname and then look at loans.
  • I presume you have tried typing Override into the returns box. I’d someone has used the temporary loans facility and typed override in at an inappropriate point in the process.
  • Type override. Put in a due date. Then type ‘borrow’ and it will show you what they have on loan and the barcode numbers.
  • I had this problem,

    go to E2 – returns and return

    OVERRIDE

    this also works for any typos or weird words there –

    then the borrower will have no items under their name.

  • I had this only last week but the entry was RENEW. To get rid of it off the borrower just go into B2 E2 and type the word in the exact same way as it appears – if all capitals that’s how you type it.

Renew

To renew items that are not present with borrower;
If you go into B2 A1
F Find
S Surname Type in surname, you may need to (n next or p previous to get the correct person)
L loans
Arrow up or down to put the cursor next to the item
R renew
C confirm

Conversion to ERN

B2 A3 will convert your current Borrower ID barcodes to their ERN as their barcode number, you only need to do this once. Then whenever you do a Refresh Students (B4 R3), one of the options is “Match Student code” select Y = Yes.

RDA- Resource Description and Access- activation on OASIS

To activate the new menu items referred to in the OASIS Library Release Notes,
select I5 Enable RDA compliance in the B1 Library Management menu. Then quit the
module and select B1 again. The new menu items will be displayed.

Release Notes only referred to, (and showed screen dumps of,) B1 I1 – I4, but the B1 the menu
did not match what was illustrated in the Release Notes, i.e. there was no I1 to
I4 only an I5 (Activate RDA). Use the following;

Select I5 then exit back to the main menu.

Then go back in to B1 and I1 – I4 should be available.

To save confusion ITD then went ahead and remotely activated RDA so that anyone who had
not already done so, did not need to worry about missing step in the Release
Notes instructions.

Assume that ITD had intended to activate RDA remotely prior to making the Release Notes available, but somehow
that didn’t happen, hence the confusion.
