Didn't change anything. (well, we had service on our library, replaced a 
drive. And I've found, for my situation, it's just easier to delete the 
library and re-add it, when the hardware changes. So I did that. But the 
only changes I made were to the number of available slots, and to not use 
the barcode reader. Nothing else. And that's how the library was 
configured before I deleted it)
