Hello Tessa,

 

The missing piece is your circulation policies (Administration -> Local Administration -> Circulation Policies).  Your circulation policies should tell you under what circumstances Evergreen applies the “7_days_0_renew” duration.  If you don’t have circulation policies already using that duration rule you would need to have them added.

 

Circulation policies are often based on circulation modifiers and patron permission group but can have other factors play a part as well.   You can find information on circulation policies in the Evergreen documentation here:  https://docs.evergreen-ils.org/docs/latest/admin_initial_setup/borrowing_items.html

 

We also have local documentation that may be helpful: https://docs.libraries.coop/sitka/_circulation_policies.html In our consortium only Co-op Support staff create and edit circulation policies but library staff can view their policies.

 

Hope that helps get you started,

 

Jennifer

Subject: [Evergreen-catalogers] loan duration and renewals question

 

Hey all,

Newbie question I'm hoping someone can help me with. I'm trying to figure out how the "Circulation Duration Rule" is linked to the bib record? I'd like to apply the "7_days_0_renew" to a record, but all I see in the "Holdings Editor" is the "Loan Duration" and the only options for that are short/normal/long. I'm not sure where short/normal/long are even defined.  What am I missing??

 

Thanks,

Tessa
