Hello

We upgraded to 3.4 at the end of June. Yesterday I was doing some staff training and noticed that if I issue a book to a patron and on the same day renew it, the date keeps rolling forward instead of renewing to the same date. For example, I issued a 1 week loan to a patron yesterday, original due date 25th July. I renewed it yesterday the first time, instead of the due date remaining the 25th, it was now 1st August. Second time, 8th August. Third time 15th August.

Is there anything in the circ rules (or anywhere else for that matter!) to stop this happening? If any of our students realise it will do this I can envisage them renewing their items several times immediately to get longer loans before other students can place holds.

Hi Lisa Yes there is, in system preferences, you can choose whether a renewal acts on todays date, or on the due date. It sounds to me like you have it set to use the existing due date to calculate the new due date. Hope this helps Chris
