Loan periods and fines

The circulation parameters in Horizon have been changed to take into account the change in loan periods and number of times items can be renewed. See 23 January – changes to borrowing and Fines

This was completed at about 8.30 this morning. To ensure all changes are picked up, Horizon sessions started before 8.30am will have to be closed and started again.

The most noticeable change is to the default loan period which is now 28 days, including journals. Fine rates have also been changed, but these changes will not be noticeable until Wednesday morning, as exceptions still remain to keep fines suppressed until then. Later note: I was mistaken about this, fines are being reinstated today. Just in the process of fixing this now (9.15am)

This was quite a fiddly job, so if you see errors, or have any questions, please contact eServices (ph 8603) asap.
