If you have an item that is marked 'lost' but still 'checked out' on the patron's record (like many libraries do) it shows as 'checked out' in the status in the OPAC. It would be better if it said 'Lost' in this case so that the patrons viewing it in the OPAC don't think that it might one day come back. Nicole
