I realize this is entirely not what Koha was designed for, but I haven't found anything else remotely close to solving my problems. I manage an equipment cage at the Art Institute of Philadelphia and use a really terrible software package called Athena for all of my circulation purposes. Anyhow, I want to switch to using Koha, but I have some questions and or ideas. One thing that would be really useful would be to have the due date/month/year have a preferences setting that could have it automatically default to the current date, x number of days in advance, etc, depending on what format the item was, etc. (Athena does have this, but it doesn't work the way we need it to...) It's a real problem to have to specify this stuff every time something is checked out. ALso, and this is very non-library related, we have a rather ridiculous checkout periods system in effect. All equipment checked out before 5 on any weekday must be back by 5, after 5 can be checked out overnight or be due back by 9:45, etc. So an hour:min setting for the due dates would be great too. I realize I should get off my butt and add this stuff myself, but I'm not sure where to start. -- "The sacred pint alone can unbind the tongue of Dedalus" --James Joyce
