42. How can I find the acquisition date for a particular title? (PH LMS)

43. A circulation question - Can we backdate a due date for a book that was loaned out but it was not correctly recorded in OPALS? The student has no loan on her record, but we have a bookcard signed out to her and the book was loaned out to her. The book was due prior to the current date. (The error was discovered when it was overdue). EM AHS

44. OPALS is not letting me mark a title lost. The book is checked out to a patron who left school. B/C 30ahs00100346T

45. I created a hitlist with 6 copies of one title for "Deletion from hitlist." A title search shows the book with 1 copy still available. In Edit mode, there is the record, but with no 852 field and no barcode. What should I do next? LAM@ASM

Q19 When we renew a teacher's book, it only renews for 2 weeks - the time for a student book. A teacher loan period is 4 weeks and circulation automatically loans to teachers for four weeks. Shouldn't the renewal be automatic for four weeks without using the calendar to select a date?

A19 Login > Administration > Preferences > Item Types > Click on the G  under ID > Change the number of days for teacher's renewal ( if your loan period says 20 days then renewal period should also say 20 days). I'm not sure which school and how many days you have entered - just have the same number of days for the loan and the renewal periods. If it doesn't work let me know -- Harriet
