Re: Materials Bookings - booking jump closed hours like loan

[Diane C Leeson <D dot C dot Leeson at hull dot ac dot uk>]

Hi Joan,

I'd be really interested in replies to this one as well please post to 
the list.

We are just starting to use materials bookings and have a similar
concern. 

However, we find like you that if we place a booking (via Millennium 
Circulation) on Friday the system calculates a due date 24 hours later 
on Saturday.  When you OK it the system then warns that library is 
closed and you have to go back and correct it.

But if we do it from the patron self-booking option it 
correctly rolls the booking over the weekend until the equivalent time 
on Monday!  So why can't it do this on the staff side?

Diane
