Option
Description
Check out with
overdues
Lets patrons check out materials even if they have overdue
materials.
Renew overdues
Lets patrons renew overdue materials. (The program still assigns
a fine to a patron for the time the item was overdue before being
renewed.)
Exceed renewal
limit
Lets patrons renew materials more times than normally allowed
for those materials. All materials in your database have a set
number of times that they can be renewed according to the
renewal limits you set in Material Type Setup.
Set their own due
date
Lets patrons set their own due date for materials. When you
check out a material to a patron with this privilege, a window
opens and asks what due date the patron wants. The patron can
use the default loan period, the material’s loan period, or request
a different date.
Checkout limit
Restricts the number of materials a patron can have checked out
at one time to the amount entered here.
Display materials
currently out
Shows in the Circulation window the titles of materials that a
patron has checked out. You may want to suppress this display
for a patron type that typically checks out hundreds of books,
such as another library branch or a classroom. However, the
default option setting is to display the materials.
Set special fine
rate per day or
hour
Lets you specify a different fine rate for overdues to patrons,
which takes precedence over the material type’s fine rate. If you
don’t want to fine certain patron types for overdue materials, you
could enter 0 (zero) for their special fine rate.
