This feature has two main parts, patron blocking by number of lost items and include lost items as items out. A group penalty threshold will be added for lost items. This will restrict patrons who have lost too many items. The inclusion of lost items as items out will be an optional setting, like claims returned items. This will allow libraries to set what type of item statuses count toward the total items out. This will also include a slight modification to the layout on the patron page to better represent items out.
