Reading Room Circ Desk Configuration

Not applicable to us based on current config; will want to revisit if we ever move things to a temp location upon being checked in at a RR. See doc. This is a configuration at the circ desk level, but only if temp loc is being used.

Lending Requests Returned to Temporary Location

To prevent items from sitting on hold shelves for extended periods of time, Alma now enables you to configure if the maximum time for an item to remain on a hold shelf before being returned to the lending library should be based on:

• • Due Date for the request
  • Circulation Desk Hold Shelf Expiration Time
    • • For more information see Managing the Hold Shelf.

You can now display the Due Date of the loan associated with the borrowing request.
