Tellico needs a one-line patch to include the loan information in the XML
used in the view window. I'll include that in Tellico 3.3.3, which is
forthcoming. Patch also attached to this email.

Then, the entry template needs to be modified to include it. I've also
attached a full entry template for the Fancy template that includes the
loan info. My basic test shows this works.

Does that get you started?
