- MuseumKey
Resolution
The message "Item cannot be checked out... Please see a staff member for assistance." is being generated directly by your ILS when MuseumKey/LendingKey attempts to perform a checkout across the SIP2 connection. Please check with your system administrator as to why this is or what has changed in the ILS, as MuseumKey/LendingKey has no control over this.
The first error message can appear when the item ID no longer exists in the ILS or has been changed. You can verify that the item ID number is correct under Museums >> Items.
