Thanksgiving break date dues
Below is how you need to handle the date dues before the Thanksgiving break.
Remember that the check out desk system (Workflows) is treating Wednesday(Nov. 22) thru Monday (Nov 27) as closed dates, but we are actually open most of those days.Please see the sign on my desk for the library hours during the break.
On Monday if you check something out that is a normal two day check out (for example movies, digital cameras, camcorders, dvd players, etc) , you will have to use the special date due icon and make the items due on Wednesday at 5pm (17:00 hours) because that is when we close that day. If it is a three day check out, you would make it due on Friday at 8am, because we are closed on Thursday. You of course need to make if very clear to the patron when their item is due. Remember the computer thinks we are closed and will automatically make items due on the Tuesday after break. We don't want patrons to have those items for that long.
On Tuesday for anything you check out that has a normal date due of two days or less, you will have to use the alt date due icon again. If it is a two day check out, you will make the item due on Friday at 8am, since we are not open on Thursday. If it is a 24 hour check out then you will make it due on Wednesday at that same time, keeping in mind that we are open from 8am to 5pm that day. So if they check it out on Tuesday night at 7pm, you would make it due on Wednesday at 5pm.
Hope that clarifies things for next week. If you have questions, send me an email.
