Hi all,
We've come across a couple of questions while we have been exploring circulation options in Evergreen. Where is the grace period for fines set? Can different grace periods be used for different libraries at the system level? Can you set a different grace period for specific circulation modifiers? Also, when notifying patrons that a hold is available, we wanted to include a holds shelf expiration date so that they know how long they have to pick up the item. For example, if the hold became available on July 12, the holds shelf expiration date may be July 17, giving the patron five days to pick the item up. I had seen mention of a "shelf expire time" in the IRC chat logs, but I don't see this field in the database or a place where we could set a holds shelf expiration date. Is anyone else using a holds shelf expiration date? Thanks in advance for your help!
