The functionality required is the ability to collect a batch of barcodes of items that are affected and the ability to change the status of collected barcodes in one action. I looked back at Mason's description and believe that he and WALDO are thinking alike.
I think the key is his description "similar to circ's current branchtransfers.pl script." That means scanning each item individually with the updates happening in individually, rather than collecting barcodes in a batch for processing en masse. Does that sound right Mason? It may not have a functional difference as far as your requirements go, but I would hope that a "Bulk status change" feature would offer more than one way of building a batch, just like the inventory script gives you the option of choosing a call number range, barcode range, etc. That's just my idea of it though. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
