Annual Survey - Annoying Error has been Removed

Hi everyone, especially those of you jousting with the Public Library Survey.   

For some unknown reason, libraries with no e-video circulation have been getting an edit check in survey line 6.10 that 0 != 0, as illustrated in the screenshots. They had to enter an explanatory note in 6.10 to clear it.  (usually something like “we don’t have e-videos!”)

In my book, zero DOES equal zero. :-/  Just ask ancient Indian mathematicians.

Now for the good news: This wonky edit check has been removed and should no longer appear.

Small nibbles of cheer. I live for them.

Have a good weekend, folks.
