Hi Joanne,

   My understanding is that the answer here is a yes  . . . but.    For a regular loan,  if an item is due on a given date it will be due by closing or 11:59 pm on that date (depending on your set-up).   If it comes in at 2 am on the following date, it’s overdue.   I’d think those 2 am returns could be resolved with a grace period.

 

For short term loans, the system should ‘do the math’, so that a 4 hour loan that is checked out at 10pm should be due at 2 am the next day as long as your calendar indicates that you’re open.  What I’m not entirely clear on is what happens to that 4 hour loan when you check it out at 11pm and the system is set to count closed hours..

 

Does that help?  Does anyone have a clearer answer?

 

Andrea

Dear Sig members,

Please remind me – will FOLIO recognize due times after midnight (say, 2am?) – some of our libraries are open after midnight, and circulate minutely loans (reserves and equipment) that can come due between midnight and 2:00am. Will FOLIO recognize these due times as valid?

Thanks! - Joanne
