Loans
The Loans module allows you to issue an item to a specific named person to whom it will be recorded as being on loan. This could be used for longer term loans to staff, to exhibitions or to external organisations for example for conservation work. Issue and return dates can be selected, with loans either starting now or in the future.
You will notice that the Loans section works in a very similar way to the Productions section. The only difference is that loans are usually more than one day in length and leave the building, productions are only available for one day and stay in the reading room.
