ILL ADMINISTRATION
Chapter 3. MANAGING REQUESTS
Calculating the Due Date from the Lending Policy Information
NOTE: The following information applies only to libraries that have selected the Use My Library’s Lending Policies checkbox on the Lending Policy screen (available through the Participant Record function - see Maintaining Participant Records for details).
If the ILL request is for an item in a Lending Policy category with an asterisk (see Entering Lending Policies for more information), the system checks the loan period column for the requested material type (if it is indicated that the library lends that material type in the Lend column) and determines the value for the loan period. If the library has not changed the default value of zero, the system disregards the value (as it indicated unlimited) and uses the value in the Days to Return field in the Participant Record. However, if the lending library has indicated a value other than zero, the system uses the specified value to override the Days to Return value. If the request was created from a Blank Request Form or is of a format that does not have the asterisk, the system disregards the Lending Policy and uses the Days to Return value.
