What's up with Aleph?
| Some of you have noticed (and some of you probably WILL notice in the near future) that Aleph has been freezing in the midst of checking out or checking in items. We discovered yesterday that this is a bug that has to do with the ILL GUI version of Aleph. (At Bio-Med, we currently don't use Aleph ILL; we're still using ILLiad to circulate ILL loans.) |
Aleph does manage to check the item in or out, but then it sees a prior associated ILL record, gets confused, and gives up. If this happens to you, click the box in the lower left corner of the screen (looks like this: 
) to break the connection, check out any other items the patron may yet need to have checked out and then double-check to ensure that the problem item was, in fact, checked out.
Let me know if this happens to you, so we can keep track of any more occurrences. Post a comment to the blog or send me an email at ereimer@umn.edu.
Thanks for your help!
