[LIBRARYDIR] End of Quarter Renewals

[Fuhrman, Tim]

Yes we allow students to renew items without proof of registration for the next quarter.  It is too much of a hassle to have them log into CTCLink and no easy way on our end that I'm aware of. We just take their word for it, but we are rogue librarians livin' on the edge...

Honestly, how many students would lie about that? Plus, if they don't return things they still get sent to collection, registered or not.

Hello collective wisdom,

We've hired a new Library Technician who is bringing new ideas and critiques of our processes, which is great!

I'm wondering how your college handles renewing items at the end of the quarter? The main question is: do you allow students to renew items without proof that they've registered for the next quarter?

Thank you!
Katherine
