Add a note to patron field in Digitization Department
It would be handy to have a way to include a note to the patron when fulfilling digitization requests. For example, a patron request chapters 1 and 17 from a 12 chapter book.
I could process their request for chapter 1 and include a note saying "According to Fair Dealing guidelines we can only scan and send one chapter from this book. There is also no chapter 17 in this book so I've only included chapter 1."
Or if the original material has been highlighted or scribble on I could attach a note saying "This marked-up version is the only copy the library has. If you would prefer a non-marked version, please make an interlibrary loan request. Contact email@school.com for assistance."
These notes would be included in the email with the fulfilled digitization request. As it currently stands, I have to find the patron's contact information and send them a separate email referring to the digitization request if I have extra notes for them.
