We allow 2 unseen renewals, and then they have to bring the items in.
If no one has requested them they can take them out again. However, we
do get the occasional student who takes advantage of this, and manages
to keep items out for a long time. We are hoping that this will
decrease when we have no more HE students - from September.

Subject: Maximum renewals?
Hi Colleagues
Here at Edge Hill College we allow 4 renewals on our 3 week loan items,
6
renewals on our 1 week loan items, and 2 renewals on our overnight loan
items.
We often get students who are 'put out' as they want to renew their
items
but have reached maximum renewals (and they are frustrated further if
no-
one else is waiting for the book).
Do any of you have maximum renewals, and if so what is the maximum
number
of renewals allowed on each loan length?
Have any of you abolished maximum renewals? And if so, what were your
reasons for this?
Any other information/feedback would be gratefully received.
Many thanks
Helen
