Pros & ConsSaving staff time for both access services and technical services staff
Items remain connected to patron records if lost/have overdue fees
Faster removal of WD items from OPAC
File of OCLC #s
Human errors
Inconsistent with handling MFHDs with multiple holdings
Will not process items that are On reserve or Scheduled
