RE: ILL -- how to handle renewals

["Fifarek, Aimee" <afifarek at scottsdaleaz dot gov>]

Carol -- that's interesting.  So then even if someone checked it out on a
self check, the due date wouldn't change.  Only a staff member could change
the due date.  I like it!!! -- Thanks.

Aimee,

The trick we use is to allow two renewals of zero length.  Our loan
rule for a 7-day ILL item looks like this -

09 > TIME REMAINING B4 RENEW     8
10 > FIRST RENEWAL PERIOD        0
11 > ADDITIONAL RENEWAL PERIOD   0
12 > MAX NUMBER OF RENEWALS      2

Allowing renewals lets you "change due date".  

I think there are other tricks out there that might be better than this
one but it works for us.

Carol

For those of you who use Millennium ILL --
    how do you handle the odd cases where you get permission from a
library
to extend someone's loan period when your system is set to not allow
ILLs to
be renewed?  Is there any way to extend the due date of an item without
it
acting like a renewal?
