Hello, all! My library will be migrating to its ILS in the next few months. I am setting up the circulation and fine rules. Mostly they're reasonably straightforward. So far, I have had few problems. A little experimentation on the development machine has answered my questions. In the dim, dark, misty past, one of the libraries I worked in charged fines; none of the rest has. Instead of a grace period per se, that library management set up a minimal overdue fine. If a patron checked out a book and returned it three days late, the system would calculate the fine at the going rate. If the calculation were at or over the minimum, the patron would incur the fine; otherwise, the fine would vanish. Of course, it amounted to a grace period; at least, that's how the patrons referred to it. I can't tell you the two years it took to get the terminology consistent among the staff and patrons so that the collective consciousness would treat it differently. So, just as a matter of curiosity, how does Koha make a library handle a minimal fine in the circulation rules? Do you arithmetically calculate the number of days (or other period) it would take for an overdue work to breach the minimal fine, and enter that value into the Fine Grace Period? Or is there another way? By the way, my library doesn't charge fines, so this is moot to us. Thanks, all! -- 気を付けて。 /ki wo tukete/ = Take care. -- Charles.
