The Library Automation Working Group provides the library automation entities necessary to effectively exchange relevant data via the framework.
This object reports the current library status for the requested student or staff member.
The minimum data that the object will return will be the patron's ElectronicId,
the total number of materials that are checked out and overdue,
and the number and amount of any fines that have been assessed to the patron.
When a patron has materials that have been checked out, requested, or are overdue, the object will contain a Transaction
element
describing the details of the transaction. Likewise, any fines that have an outstanding balance will also have a Transaction
element for the fine.
When a checked out item is returned to the library, it will not appear in the object, even if the item was overdue. Fines that have an outstanding balance will be reported, but when the fine is paid, it will not appear in the object.
SIF_Events are not reported for this object.
