Purpose,
description, and use:
To identify an item being returned to a home library from another
Alliance member and not checked in through Summit Borrowing.
Alliance member libraries have agreed to return materials to each other,
regardless of where the item was borrowed and returned,
and regardless of how the item was circulated (Summit
Borrowing, ILL, Visiting Patron, or other means).
Why a special
flag?
If a non-SB item is returned in an Alliance (Orbis or Cascade or
Summit) courier bag, the home library would generally attempt to check it in as
if it were a Summit (INN-Reach) transaction. The green flag will signal staff at
the home library to process the item outside the Summit routines. For a PUA or
other SB item with a Green Flag, it provides owning site staff the date the
patron returned it.
