- The item’s due date in My Account will match the user’s Circulation account.
- For the initial checkout, integration sets the item’s due date to the more restrictive of the Circulation Loan Policy and Tipasa due date including any due date offset set in Tipasa’s Patron Settings.
- The user will not see a new due date for borrowed items after requesting a renewal of borrowed items in My Account.
- Renewal requests will be submitted directly to the lending library for approval.
- If the lender does not renew the request, the initial due date will not be updated.
- If the lender approves the renewal, library staff must update the borrowed item’s due date manually in WorldShare Circulation after which the new due date will appear to the user in My Account.
- Tipasa staff should monitor the Renewal Approved queue to identify recently-renewed loans.
- You can also use tags to keep track of requests and their Circulation status. See Tags for more information.
- The user will not see a new due date for borrowed items after requesting a renewal of borrowed items in My Account.
Items not renewed
When an item fails to be renewed, specific error messages appear in the Checkouts tab to help the user take appropriate action to complete the renewal.
Specific renewal error messages appear when:
- The account is expired or blocked from circulation
- The user owes too much in library fees
- The user has too many overdue items
- The item is needed to fulfill another patron's hold or item scheduling request
- A system error occurred while attempting the renewal
Any other conflict with Circulation policies will result in a generic error message indicating that renewals are not allowed.
If a user selects more than one item to renew, then item-specific failure messages display for each item that fails to renew. A list of successfully renewed items will continue to be displayed in the confirmation message.
