<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>We are setting
up our calendar and circulation parameters. We're having <BR>trouble figuring
out how to "make it do" what we are accustomed to, but I'm <BR>starting to
wonder if there is no way to do that...<BR><BR>In our current system, we allow
books to check-out for 3 weeks. We "count" <BR>the days that we are closed, so
an item going out on Monday the 2nd would be <BR>due on Monday the
23rd.</FONT></FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman"

<DIV><BR>The only time an item going out on a Monday wouldn't be due on a Monday
is <BR>if the library has a holiday on that day... in which case, we would roll
the <BR>due date forward to the next day that we are open.<BR>But otherwise,
patrons can usually tell when their items will be due based <BR>on what day of
the week they came in. Does that make sense?<BR><BR>As far as I can tell, that
system won't work in Koha. If we tell Koha that <BR>items circulate for 21 days,
but that we are closed on Sundays, the computer <BR>doesn't count the Sundays...
an item going out on Monday the 2nd would be <BR>due on Thursday the 26th. Is
that the way it works for your library?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Sally </DIV>
