2. Marked as Inactive.
This window is where the resources are selected. The member's information is displayed at the top of the window. This is the time to verify the information is correct and the correct member has been selected.

The checkout date defaults to today and the due date depends on the resource type. At the same time a record is added to the circulation history file. If the member history option has been selected each resource will be added to the member's history.
