[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Duration Rules/Circulation Policies

[Elisabeth Keppler]

Forsyth treats ILLs exactly the same way that Holly describes.  We put our
own barcode on a wrapper around the front cover of the book with the due
date written in, check the thing out to our patron as a pre-cat, then call
and let the patron know it's here.  When they come to pick up, they sign a
receipt for it so that we know when it actually left our hands, but the
checkout date remains the day that the item arrived from the lending
library and the due date is based on that.
