Recall period configuration
- Julie Petzold
- FP 7289 from Tim Conant. "I thought that patrons are guaranteed a loan of fourteen days before the recall due date kicks in. Seven days from the recall does not make sense for patrons who have just checked out a book. Can Alma look at the amount of time a patron has borrowed the book and configure a fair recall due date?"
This page notes the concept of a recall period:
Recall Period - The recall period policy determines how the due date will change. If the due date is already due back before the number of days in the policy, the due date will not be changed. See Recall Period.
This page notes the settings of the Recall period:
The amount of time that a patron has to return a recalled item.
Values: None/Other. If you select Other, enter a value and a unit of time measurement.
For more information on recall requests, see Recall Requests.
It also notes Requested Item Due Date:
The length of time that the item may be borrowed (by default, two weeks) if the item is requested by another patron, when the item is not already on loan.
Values: None/Other. If you select Other, enter a value and a unit of time measurement.
For more information on recall requests, see Recall Requests.
Alma is set to 7 days recall for Harvard.
And set to 14 days for when Requested Item Due Date for circulating collections.
