Work Lost and Paid/Lost Report in CARL

This report lists items whose status became Lost within a specific date range. The display of Lost items can be further limited by the item’s branch and the type of lost transaction, i.e. A9/LOSTNPAID, A9/LOSTNMISS, and other, not LOSTNPAID or LOSTNMISS. The report provides a summary view of items grouped by branch, including information such as the location, prefix, item call number, author, title, and item ID. The report also includes a detailed view for each item, where additional information such as media, CARL BID, ISBN, publication date, price, circulation history, last circulation date, and the associated patron ID are shown. Libraries may use this for collection development, to determine whether or not to purchase a replacement item.
