Loan count 

Number of Loans is stored in the Aleph item record. Before migration a job was run to subtract transfer loans (event type 56), and return to depository loans (event type 57) from the loan count. Counted loans at migration to Alma is the sum of: Simple loan (50), Reading room loan (51), Offline circulation (52), and Routing list loan (54).

There were no changes to loan records or events themselves. For migrated items with Aleph circ history, the date of any circulation event that last occurred in aleph would show up as the last loan date field in Alma (until the item is actually loaned in Alma).

The maximum number of loans in Aleph is 999.
