These functions are also performed when an item is renewed. Requested items are tracked as they are sent around the borough, until issued to the correct borrower. There is a PC package which runs circulation functions when the online system is not available. Items loaned or returned are recorded on the PC disk, and can be transferred to the main system when it is available. Local and borough-wide library stock is displayed, showing where copies are shelved, and whether they are in or on loan.
Borrowers can also look up their own records via catalogue terminals.
