[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] bookings module - media bookings

[Gordana Vitez]

Hi Dan,
 
I probably should have clarified my language as well. We capture reservations; however, we still have the same issues with "late pickups" and have to taken to capturing and checking out at the time the pickup is expected.
 
Thanks!
Gordana

Those reservations in question do have capture_time and the items have  
On Reservation Shelf status. The issue is they do not show up on  
Reservation Pick Up screen. When I looked at those records (last  
Friday), some of them still had a couple of days reservation period.
