Hi all Currently on the checkout page, and the borrowers pages, we have tab down the left hand side that is named 'Fines'. Often it is not fines at all but rental charges or some other thing. I would like to rename it to Charges ... (I can of course just do this in the translation for NZ english, but I thought Charges might be a better default value for everyone) What do people think? Bad Idea? Chris

Charges sounds a lot more inclusive than fines On 7/05/2010 10:45 a.m., Chris Cormack wrote:

No personal objection from me, but a few libraries and systems understand the word 'charges' to mean 'checkouts'. How about renaming it to 'Fees' or 'Fines and fees'? Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton gmcharlt@gmail.com
I'd be happy with 'Fees' or ;Charges' Rosalie On Fri, May 7, 2010 at 11:30 AM, Galen Charlton <gmcharlt@gmail.com> wrote:

I like Fines/Fees more than Charges, for what it's worth. It seems clearer to me. -Ian 2010/5/7 Koustubha Kale <kmkale@anantcorp.com>

We briefly talked about this at NEKLS: we agree with Galen that Charges defines something else (at least in US libraryland), and that "fines and fees" would be clearer for our libraries. But, we can always just change it with jquery if we don't like what you do. ;) Liz Rea NEKLS On May 7, 2010, at 6:45 AM, Ian Walls wrote:
