I saw that in our system options but there were no choices in it -- it says Call Innovate. Guess that is what I will have to do. Thanks everyone.

Hi Roger,

This is a Circulation System Option--#37 on our system. The option reads "Renewals: New due date is computed" and the options are: FROM DUE DATE or FROM RENEWAL DATE.

Hope this helps--
Leigh

Our board members have sure have had a lot of questions lately. (You may recall I asked for help on defending the purchase of beefed up computers for staff. I didn't bother to query on why we even needed a cataloging utility in the first place!)

Our current question is:

Can you renew from the date the item is due, rather than from the date you are renewing on?

Our board member had wanted his book for longer and renewed it only to find it was due sooner than he thought it would be. He wants to be able to add on from the due date.

We are still on 2002.3. I looked around for a possible system setting or loan rule and couldn't find anything. All I find is when you can renew after checkout, (which we have set for 1 day) and the renewal periods and the number of renewals possible. These loan rules and such were set up when we first went on III back in 1999, so I am hoping newer releases might have something that could address this issue (or there is somewhere I am not looking). We hope to be joining a consortium that will have a newer release than ours.

Thanks for your time,
