The xact_start (transaction start) is the timestamp of checkout.  The 
checkin_time is the timestamp of when the checkin occurs.  A null in 
that column indicates that the item is still in circulation.

There are 3 columns noting renewal possibilities, desk_renewal, 
opac_renewal, phone_renewal.  If you're looking for only original 
checkouts, you'll want all 3 of these columns to be null.
