We will soon be moving over to the new BLDSS system and were wondering what people have decided to do about renewals.
We understand that loans will now be for 6 weeks in the first instance and if there is a recalled item we will be notified of this at the 5 week point of the loan period. However, because the BL is now saying they will charge a renewal fee if the item is not back on time we believe we need to leave ourselves longer than one week to get the book back to them.
What loan period are you giving your users, both for the initial loan of the item and for any subsequent renewals?
Thanks for your help,
Lucy
