If library hours are set using the calendar you shouldn't have any issues, we loan out some of our bibles in a similar fashion. There was some system preference I had to set...but I would need to look tomorrow. //Riley Sent from my Windows Phone -- Riley Childs Senior Charlotte United Christian Academy Library Services Administrator IT Services Administrator (704) 537-0331x101 (704) 497-2086 rileychilds.net @rowdychildren I use Lync (select External Contact on any XMPP chat client) CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email and any files transmitted with it are the property of Charlotte United Christian Academy.

This way no fines would be generated as the item won't get overdue (unless the patron is still late). If you can't see the option to specify the due date during checkout, check that the system preference SpecifyDueDate is set to 'allow' in your installation. Hope this helps, Katrin Am 01.04.2015 um 08:44 schrieb Tim Young:
Hi, I am helping some people set up Koha. I am not very familiar with it, and I thought a quick email might save me a lot of head-scratching...
We have a bunch of research books which are set up to be of type "short-term loan". We have a rule where they are checked out for 2 hours, and start to get fined for every hour after those two hours.
At the end of the day, however, we are OK with students checking these books out overnight and returning them first thing in the morning. The problem is that they have ammassed a lot of fines by then, since they are long past their due-time.
Is there a way for us to either have time-based rules, or select between two different rule-sets at checkout? Or is there some other approach that we can use so that we can set up a policy of that nature?
