How to record "in-house" loans

To record "in-house" usage of items, check them out to the relevant "statistical" user.

For BHH - the statistical user is "INHS-BHH", BHH Inhouse User

For MH - the statistical user is "INHS-MH", MH Inhouse User.

These "statistical" users are a special type of patron category. Their only purpose is to record inhouse loans. They cannot be used to checkout items to a real person.

Questions re Circulation etc

Query From Answer
Instead of checking the box "Always show checkouts immediately" for each individual borrower, is there a global setting so that all borrowers have checkouts displayed immediately? DW  
How do we record "inhouse loans"? DW need to create statistical users - which I have done (RL), I tried to find the user but I couldn't please help(PS)
As mentioned previously in a meeting, would like what Year the med student is in, shown in the Circ record...not sure if the Year field came over from Spydus...I recall something to do with the Sort fields maybe? JY  
Is there any way the 2 backup sites could look abit different from the originals, just so it's easier to recognise that that's the back-up site, especially when one (me) has a million tabs open?  Like a different colour?, big heading text? just something obvious (at the top?) so one (me) is confident in the 1st sec that I'm in the right site instead of "oh god I better double-check!" and waste time!
