Change the sounds in circulation

Follett provides several sound files you can use for circulation.

• For all products, there are two default sounds for events or actions in Circulation.
• For Library Manager, there are two additional sounds: Fine/Overdue and Hold/Reserve Ready.

You can change the sounds you hear for certain alert conditions.
