Transit Slips – too much information??
We were looking closely at the “Tranfer to” slips that KOHA generates and wondered if the group thought there was too much private information printed on them. Do you feel this is too much? If so, how should we anonymize the slip?

Title and Author
The Tonganoxie staff was thinking that the address and Library card number was not really that necessary. We assume they have a card if they made a request, and telephone and email is the main way we contact people. We could look up the address on that extremely rare case that we mail a notice. (Which no one here can remember the last time we mailed a notice.)

Like Royce, we pretty much need that name and telephone number or email. Can’t think of why we would need everyone’s library card number either. We for sure do not need an address!
Yes, we like the name, phone number &/or email. We would also like to have the item barcode on the transfer receipt. We have several series of DVDs and all that prints out is the title and not which one.
We like the phone number to be included. Also, would it be possible to have a transit slip print option for items checked in that need to be returned to other libraries? Currently, the only time we get the option for a printed slip is when the item has holds on it and needs forwarding to another library.
