A number of alert staff have noticed that openshelf items issued to the same borrower can have different due dates. This is normal at this time of year and will continue to happen over Summer.

The reason is that in Summer the branch opening hours are out of sync e.g. Central remains open 7 days a week, Education is open for 5 days a week. Horizon disregards days that a location is closed when calculating due dates, so an Education book will issue for a longer period than a Central book.

However, if anyone has concerns about the accuracy of the Horizon Calendar setup for any location, please don’t hesitate to ask for it to be checked.
