This module is really great though a change in the interface to allow some sort of shopping cart style checkout would be more efficient. If you have a few patrons each checking out 10-15 items each, it is much more efficient to look up the patron first, create a new user if necessary, scan all items on one screen and perform a single checkout based on the due date of the item. Just a thought.

I would agree. I have been searching for a method to do this. As the workflow right now is very time consuming to check out items.
Find item -> Click checkout -> Add borrower info -> Click Checkout.

Is there a method that could be more like:
Find Borrower ->Add multiple Items (searching for ItemId) and clicking add new item for each item -> Click Final Checkout -> Print receipt (this one is stretching it a bit).
Is there a location that I could make this adjustment in the module.

I like the idea cjamesrun had. How difficult would it be to program an 'add more' just like in a CCK multiple field?
