Loan transactions, regulations, and warning messages are essential components of our library system. You can establish loan rules to manage how library members borrow books.
During each loan transaction, the software automatically assesses these rules, and if any issues occur, it promptly displays a relevant warning message to notify both staff and members. Below, you can review several of these warning messages.
To define loan rules, navigate to the Options / Loan Options window.
Max # of Items
You can set limits on the number of items borrowed according to the member's membership type. If a borrower tries to borrow more books than the established limit, the software will issue a warning.
Items Overdue
You can specify the number of days members can keep items. If a borrower retains a book beyond the due date, the library check-out module will display an overdue warning.
Reference Materials
Reference materials like encyclopedias, dictionaries, and thesauruses are accessible to the public in the library. Librarians may establish a rule to prohibit the lending of these items.
Suspened
The loan feature verifies a member's status to ensure they are not suspended before allowing them to borrow items. If a suspended borrower attempts to borrow, the software will display a warning, preventing them from taking out additional items.
Expiry Date
Handy Library ensures that no item's due date exceeds a member's expiry date. The system actively monitors due dates and displays a warning message if a member tries to check out an item with a due date beyond their membership expiry.
Suspened, Expiry Date
Librarians can set the expiry date or suspended status in the borrower add/edit form. There is no need to define a "suspended" or "expiry date" rule, as these rules are checked automatically by the library system.
Simple Rule
You can establish a clear rule that applies specifically to students. Default settings will apply to all other borrowers: the loan period is 14 days, and the maximum number of items allowed is 2.
Multiple Rules
You can have multiple rules.
The final rule specifies the "no borrowing" policy for reference items (encyclopedias, dictionaries, thesauruses). Empty Type value means all library patrons.
