Broken ISO Borrowing Returns (VDX)

The goal of this task is to return books our patrons are done using to the libraries that supplied them.

Confirm that the book was affected by the August 25th incident
- Look for a Private note in the Private notes section that starts with: BROKEN ISO
- If there is no private note, start a book pile to review with ILL staff

Carefully disassemble Bookstrap

Confirm that the title on our Bookstrap matches the lender's paperwork
Put lender's paperwork back in book
Make sure the book is in reasonably good condition
- - Bad condition: wet/moisture damage, so much writing inside that it’s distracting, cover or pages coming off/out
  - If item is in bad condition, give to a staff member
