[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Customize Fines and Due Dates

Fine Threshhold - a patron with fines at this amount or higher will not be allowed to check out materials.  (This does not include the fines for overdue items still out.)
 
Overdue Threshhold - a patron with this number or more items overdue will not be allowed to check out materials.
 
When a patron is blocked from checking out because of the fine threshhold or the overdue threshhold, a staff person with permissions set sufficiently high can override the block and permit the checkout.
 
Regarding renewals - a renewal is just another checkout, so the loan period for each renewal will be the same as the original checkout.

you can modify  your circ_groups.js script file.




        maxItemsOut                     - the maximum number of items the user can have out
        fineThreshold           - the fine threshold.
        overdueThreshold        - the overdue items threshold.
        maxHolds                                - The maximum number of holds the user can have



this is the format of  the file and the maxitemsout tells  you the 
number of items that a particular  group of users can borrow.
var GROUP_CONFIG = {
        'Patron' : {
                maxItemsOut         : 2,
                fineThreshold       : 10,
                overdueThreshold    : 10,
                maxHolds            : 5
        },
       
}



you can use your bootstrap pages  to determine  the maximum renewals 
for an item.as well as  the number of days a book can be borrowd 
out.of course this will also be determined by  your logic that u use 
for your checkout and what  rule u use for checkouts.

Thanks!

Please excuse my confusion but I'm not sure what those items mean - what
does it mean by Fine threshold and overdue items threshold? Does that mean
the maximum amount of the fine or does it define how much the fine is?

I'm also not sure what you mean when you say the logic and rules for
checkout?

Thanks,
Richard

Hi all,

I'm in the middle of trying to get a budget set up so we can get our
small university library automated.  We currently have no ILS and no
OPAC.  I have put Evergreen and Koha on the list of possibilities for
the ILS.  I have read on other discussion lists and library blogs
about problems librarians have had in using them.  I'd appreciate any
feedback from those who have used or currently use an open source ILS.
 What is the good, bad, and ugly in them from your experience?  Thanks
to all who respond.

Scott,

There are two institutions in California that are probably similar in size
and requirements to you.  They are William Jessup University who installed
and is using Evergreen, and Pacifica Graduate Institute who is in the
process of installing Koha.

The Library Director at Jessup is Kevin Pischke.  The person handling the
Koha project at Pacifica is Erin Barta.

Moreover, Scott,

Kevin and the folks at William Jessup installed Evergreen on their own and
support it. That is a part of the promise of open source.

Karen did an interview with Kevin and Jeff Green (one of the key IT staff
at WJU) in April on the Evergreen blog:
