Hi all,


Thanks for the feedback.  I'd originally thought that other functionality within the Loan Policy form might handle the short-term scenarios as well but, when I gamed them all out, realized that setting this at the Loan Policy level would indeed be required.


I'll be pinging the group again shortly on another issue.

I agree it should be at the loan policy level. To David's point, some libraries would want their short loans due at closing anyway, and not extend them to the next opening time. We have both policies in place here at Duke.

Yes, we would meed to have the setting at the loan policy rule level.

I would think we’re talking about loan policy level. So for example, a standard loan, which is simply due on a date with no real due time (typically, effectively this is a due time of 23:59:59 on the due date) would not need an offset.

 

But an hourly loan, such as a reserves item, would need an offset, potentially. So if a 2 hour loan item is loaned 1 hour before a service point closes, then the loan due time is pushed to being due X minutes or hours after the service point opens the next morning, rather than being truncated to being due when the service point closes or made due when the service point is closed.

 

Sean, is that an accurate representation? If so, then my answer is yes, that the offset needs to be at the loan policy level not at the service desk level, since that gives better flexibility.

 

Best,

David

Sean,

Just to clarify, by “Policy level” do you mean on the institutional policy level? So, for example, if we have 12 libraries in our institution, a Policy level setting would apply to all 12 of them?

Just need to know before I can consult with my colleagues and give you an answer.

Thanks - Joanne

Hi RA SMEs,

 

One issue that I'm following up on related to Loan Policies, is the requirement for FOLIO to allow staff to set an offset time under the following conditions:

 - Loanable = Y

 - Closed library due date management = Move to the beginning of the next open day

 

The requirement in the Loan Policy Metadata file is for an Opening Time Offset, which would allow staff to input a value of hours or minutes.

 

Before we go deeper into implementation issues, I wanted to make sure that the requirement is for this be set at the Policy level, as opposed to setting a consistent Opening Time Offset, say, per service location.

 

I assume that the answer is yes - that there are individual policies that will require different opening time offsets, but just wanted to confirm that assumption.

 

If this is a topic better addressed in the RA-SIG meeting, please let me know and I'll try to get it on the calendar.  Apologies in advance if this is a topic already covered prior to my coming on board.

 

Thank you.

 

Sean
