[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Item Checkout Notes

[Elizabeth Thomsen]

It would be great to have this as an option that's part of the checkout 
process, so that when you're in the middle of checking out a pile of 
books and notice a problem you could scan the barcode and check an 
option to add the alert right there without interrupting the flow.

Speaking of these alerts, is it possible to have the system 
automatically stamp these with the date and user information?  It would 
be really helpful to know who entered an alert and when it was entered. 
  (This is true for all sorts of notes and alerts in the system.)
