Help!  Alexandria Put My Item In Transit!

Summary:  In Transit?  Where is Alexandria trying to send my item?  You know that you are not a Central Union system and what's happening is a mystery to you.   What's going on?

There is an easy explanation  —   your item Library (Institution) Code is different from the Library ID Code in your Library Information — Default Local preferences.

Go to Edit on the menu bar and select Preferences.

Change the first drop-down menu in the upper-left corner to Library Information if it is not already showing this selection.  The second drop-down menu should be set to Local or Default Local.

Look at the Library ID Code field on your Local or Default Local preferences and make note of what it is.

Close the Preferences window.

Go to File on the menu bar and select Utilities.

Set the Utilities window as shown below inserting your Library ID Code in the With field.

 Click on Run and, when asked if you want to Archive first, select "Yes."

Close the Utilities window.
