--- Comment #5 from Joy Nelson <joy at bywatersolutions.com> ---

I'm in agreement with Katrin here.  There is valuable information that
libraries need access to at a glance.  (# of circs, history, etc)  You would
still need a place to display this information on a tab here.

Additionally, the difference in functionality is something many libraries have
built very specific workflows around and would need to retain.  (charging
fines/removing checkouts)  Removing the quick editing function (set to
lost/missing - adding notes quickly) would be onerous for some libraries.

Also, this cleaner interface on the Items tab is better suited for many
circulation desk staff.  The item grid with the item subfields listed is more
'cataloger-like' and not designed for "non librarian" staff to use easily.
