Hello, Currently our short loan period is 7 days, we allow 1 weeks 'grace' time when the item is overdue but fines do not accrue, these can also be renewed once. So in effect a short loan item can be borrowed for 7 days, kept overdue for 7 days, renewed for 7 days, kept overdue 7 days giving a loan of 4 weeks without any fine at all. Students from a particular subject area do take advantage of this so, I'm thinking about making short loan items not renewable and discarding 7 days 'grace' time - mainly to get items back in to circulation. I'm wondering what other people do with their short loan stock, is it renewable or not?
