Hi Lisa, We are a tertiary education institute based in New Zealand and we use the Recalls function on Koha. We have worked with a sister institute, Waikato Institute of Technology, and our support vendor, Catalyst IT, to make improvements and enhancements to the recalls set-up and for the most part it works well. It has all the functionality you describe below, including the ability to notify current borrowers via email and SMS. More information is available here: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Catalyst_IT_Recalls Hope this helps. Kind regards Jacinta Osman.

Hello everyone Apologies, I know this has been asked several times but I was wondering if any development work has been done on this - we could really do with the functionality to be able to not only put a hold on a checked out item but to also automatically decrease the loan period and for a message/email to be sent to the current borrower to request the early return of the item. Does anyone know if this is possible?
